IBM Develops Memory 100x Faster Than Flash

[rosen380]

But if it takes 10 years to turn this into a real product, how fast will 2021 RAM be?

Or, I suppose, you could compare current SSDs to RAM of 2001 to get a feel for it...

This is impressive... But I'm certain the gov't will see this before we even get a chance to play with it.

doesn't surprise me. IBM had the first gigahertz cpu before there were even suffcient cpu coolers to run them with back when intel was dawdling about with the pentium 2's and amd was still pumping out k62's

I didn't realize Flash Memory was held in contempt. I thought most people were quite content with it as it stands now.

I believe enterprises are the first to get such products with this cutting edge technology, but again it will be priced very high.
SSD were first introduced to the enterprise market way before it was introduced to the consumer market, so the same will apply to the PCM.

"at least 10 million write cycles" they will never make a drive for consumers with this. it's gonna be rigged to break in 5 years at best, so we have to go out and buy more.

PS hads anyone tried booting windows 95 on a VM on a system running a overclocked core i7 920?

near instant boots are already here

make a OS the size of windows 95 that runs the latest programs

Unfortunately Windows95 98 ME no longer work on modern motherboards The only way to run them now is in a virtual machine.

so you are saying they wouldn't be able to make modern operating system boot as fast as windows 95 on a VM.

FAIL

NO. That is not what I am saying...

I went on Wikipedia to find my name is not what I always thought it was.

[citation][nom]razor512[/nom]The people at IBM value the art of procrastination and spend a lot of time and money on procrastination.[/citation]
Fortunately for all of us, part of their procrastination is heavy-duty testing, plus re-engineering from extremely expensive one-off test devices to something that can be mass-produced. It's like those guys who invented lasers but didn't give us CD drives for years and years.
< end sarcasm >
R&D frequently should take a long time from working prototype to reliable, consumer-affordable device.

BTW, on the headline: Don't I already have memory 100x as fast as Flash in my PC? If not in my memory slots, at least in my on-die cache?

Combine that with the exo-suit and T1 is born.

Sign, it doesn't post links.

Go to you tube and look up

GM and NASA Take Giant Leap in Robotic Technology

Basically, they built the top half of a person.

LMAO! 😀

 

[new003]

[citation][nom]hoofhearted[/nom]There is alot of other "new tech" that they need to make money from before the newest tech makes it into our hands.[/citation]

I think since the alien spacecraft crash landed in roswell, humans sudden burst forth with all sorts of technology. And some guy said "ok now we need to release this shizz slowly as to get as much as we can from these people for the next 60 years" too far fetched for ya? Well what if i said the alphabet really had 29 letters? lol man i need to lay off the conspiracy theories.

I think bottom line is the "rig" that we buy 2 years from now is already sitting in a warehouse deep underground LOL
