IBM announces solid-state memory breakthrough
- bkudria 16y agoJust to be clear, it doesn't sound like this will make it into any sort of consumer product for a couple of years, at least.
- DaniFong 16y agoIf it turns into something in a couple of years, I will be incredibly impressed. They've discovered something about the physics of domain walls -- not created a working demonstration!
- bkudria 16y agoI put an (in my opinion) optimistic timeline on it because this research was done in a private research lab, not in (slower-moving) academia. IBM doesn't fund stuff like this for kicks.
- modeless 16y agoI'd put it more like 10-15 years away. Memristor memories have actually been fabricated by HP and yet won't be in products for another three years at least. Nobody even knows how to fabricate a practical racetrack memory device.
