My understanding is HP evaporated huge amounts of funds into memristor development, then simply stopped talking about. I suspect they never had any working product or prototype in any capacity.
They were literally calling the product that was using it "The Machine", like a 1980s Sci-Fi B-film:

- peatmoss 4y agoIt's a crying shame that a commercial lab found this (and presumably patented it). If it had been a government lab, we could theoretically have dozens of groups all making progress with memristor tech. I remember breathlessly telling friends and family how memristors were gonna change everything. I didn't (and still don't) have any particular understanding of memristors other than having drunk the cool-aid in terms of their popular science value. It feels like a huge letdown that we don't have memristor tech in the wild yet.
