A question that seems related: what the heck is up with memristors? The Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor) says that memristors are estimated for commercial viability in 2018, and have been built in prototype, but also says that there are serious doubts about whether memristors can possibly exist in physical reality! What gives?
- awalton 10y agoPerhaps find better sources than Wikipedia? You can buy Memristors now, but it's going to be many many years before they get up to densities you'd expect in modern computing systems. (See sites like http://www.bioinspired.net/products-1.html http://www.bioinspired.net/products-1.html or http://knowm.org/product/ http://knowm.org/product/).

- wmf 10y agoIn 2017 commercial viability will probably be pushed back to 2019. There is some debate about whether HP's chips are "true" memristors or just PCM, but ultimately that's irrelevant to customers as long as they store data.
