The write performance sounds good, but the read performance seems very low. Also I don't know where they get 7 megs per second for flash. Sounds like the picked the worst performer to compare to.
I'd be more impressed if they had something on the market.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They haven't mentioned the price or may be I missed it. That may be the important factor.
They also don't compare the read speed (17 MB/s) to existing flash memory. They showcase an amazing write speed, but most applications access data a lot more frequently than they create it.

In this case, that means a reputable tech reporter from a reputable publication has to say "this is the real deal" before these guys can be taken seriously.
(I'm not doubting that they have any tech, it's just that they seem to be promising something with no downsides, which in most cases means a marketing team has spun out of control.)
I remember memristers were supposed to do something like this. Anyone have an idea if this is related or unrelated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor
As I understand it, one of the (more interesting) characteristics of memristors is that they can do computation. They don't mention anything like that here, so I doubt it.

Crossbar believes it can write data to its chip at 140 megabytes per second, compared to 7 megabytes a second for flash. Read performance is 17 megabytes per second, with a random read latency of 30 nanoseconds. The write performance sounds good, but the read performance seems very low. Also I don't know where they get 7 megs per second for flash. Sounds like the picked the worst performer to compare to. I'd be more…
Flash chips are generally multiplexed and behind a smart controller that compresses and and caches data, which can greatly effect the throughput numbers.

Does it? It just sounds like a normal memristor to me.
