I assume the initial prices will also be 10x more per GB than what we have now, too, much like SSDs and flash storage in the beginning (it's still the case actually) - compared to flash storage that is - so 100x more per GB than HDD storage.

It'll come down. Demand will be massive (if it lives up to the hype). This could potentially unify the RAM and Hard disks in computers.

  There will always be a place for yet faster memory. Does this compete with the registers and L1/L2 cache in terms of speed?

    But at least caches are often transparent to software, thus don't affect software as much.

    Likely my basic understanding of memristors they require a certain ramp time. So I don't think it'll replace cache.

    it doesn't need to. If it's faster than the whole 'caching' procedure, than it is faster regardless.
