If this holds up to the promise, it'll be awesome!

 

[digiex]

Enough for the press release, release it to market.

And like all amazing breakthrough disruptive technologies that will save humanity from the apocalypse....it will be ready in a few decades for commercialisation once it has satisfactorily assured the Republicans that it will not open a rift directly to the bad place from their favourite children's story-book.

Holy cow this is impressive. And revolutionary. Best of luck on their success!

You must be an Obama fan(atic) to bring up any political party for the article.
What a moron!!!

Panasonic announced recently that they are starting production this month HERE.

seems cool, but what about its pricing?

No word on write cycles? How does this compare to ReRAM? It says they can incorporate logic in the chip. Is this NAND or NOR logic gates? Could this lead to 3D microprocessors? What is the switching rate compared to conventional silicone transistors?

The endurance is phenomenal at 1E6 compared to 3000 or less for current NAND. HERE is a great chart that compares NAND and RRAM. RRAM appears to be much better in every way.

So is Samsung committing Seppuku right now although they are Korean and not Japanese?

Hot tip for "professional" writers who keep forgetting the difference between its and it's: MS Word has a grammar-check.

 

[warezme]

I am so ready for this.

 

[Zaxx420]

This is hardly disruptive tech...it's the future of flash.

 

[knightmike]

Is this the memristor?

[blubbey]

So it's faster (in every way?), much better endurance, much lower power consumption with more density. Downsides? Usually these are marketing things that are like "oh yeah it's great! plz buy it...". Is it really that good? Usually these things are too good to be true....

This is horrible news. It is going to take forever to find and remove the terabytes of bloatware that will be installed on phones. I bet at least one person from Verizon just creamed their pants.

 

[cocogorilla]

This reads like an April fools day joke. If that's true, battery lives, heat, capacity... a whole new class of device becomes possible.

 

[GreaseMonkey_62]

Combine this with graphene batteries and we got some killer phones.

 

[popatim]

SWEET!!! 20 times faster than flash with more space to boot! Bye Bye Harddrives.
LoL

Unfortunately, like all great ideas this technology is probably under patent and Crossbar probably wants a lot of money to license it and that will kill the tech before it even has a chance.

 

[popatim]

ACCCKKK!!!!! They are privately held...

Unfortunately? If it wasn't for patents, this technology, like all great ideas, wouldn't exist.
