More than 20 years ago, I read about new FRAM/FeRAM chip that just got commercialized that was supposed to revolutionize non-volatile storage. And the specs were pretty good, definitely much better that flash.
And yet today, nothing came out of it. Sure, you can still buy FeRAM at digikey, and it found a niche or two by itself, but it is tiny, tiny piece of overall storage market.
I think that memristor is going to end up as FRAM and not as MEMS. It is cute, but even if it could be executed perfectly, it does not allow anything that more conventional technologies can do (unlike MEMS :) l
- justinlloyd 4y agoI remember FRAM now that you mention it. There's obviously a lot of promising technologies that die through poor marketing, poor adoption, price, better performing or cheaper alternatives. I see potential in memristors but I think the jury is still out on whether it will see marketplace success. I personally think it has huge upside potential but it sounds like both of us have seen all that be for nothing. I think my previous comment carries more weight though, because it has a pig on it.
