Intel Confirms Non-Volatile MRAM Is Being Produced with High Yield
- mises 8y agoThis could be really cool... Another thread detailing some of the awesome stuff MRAM can do: https://www.techspot.com/news/72272-mram-could-one-day-break-modern-encryption-methods.html https://www.techspot.com/news/72272-mram-could-one-day-break...
- segfaultbuserr 8y ago> the fact that it could one day replace NAND flash and DRAM. Why would you want to use a volatile storage device as your main RAM? Isn't it a invitation to all forms to data extraction and cold-boot attacks? Okay... Perhaps the memory controller in the future will generate a new AES key on each boot.
- londons_explore 8y agoYou could simply wipe memory on shutdown if it was a concern.
- gothack 8y agoPull the power cord, pop the modules, om nom nom tasty non-volatile data. I'd expect encryption paired with MRAM if it replaces DRAM in my general machines
- londons_explore 8y agoThat's already possible with dram - just cool the modules and pop them out quickish.
- segfaultbuserr 8y agoThe difference is that, unless you spray the coolant within 10 seconds (DDR 3) after poweroff, all data in the DRAM is lost. On the other hand, a MRAM laptop without battery will retain all the data even if the power loss occurred days ago.
