How long have we been talking about "new" types of memory/storage? Anyone remember memristors?

  The article literally links to another one that talks about the "emerging type of memory" - from 2012.

  The problem is that any new technology has to compete with half a century of improvement made to the current one. It's not enough to make a proof of concept of your MRAM, FRAM, or whatnot. If you want it to catch on you have to also come up with a way to quickly start making say, 16GB modules competitive with modern DDR5. That's tough.

  Has anything happened with memristors?

    With the recent successes quantizing LLMs to 4 bits, memristors can actually be useful. Basically the lower the precision the more attractive analog computation becomes.

    You can buy them at knowm.com so I'd guess.. maybe?
