- badsock 11y agoYou can buy devices with memristors today: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Panasonic/MN101LR05DXW/?qs=OeBdveGBEcQzg65tbPujiw%3D%3D http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Panasonic/MN101LR05DXW/?... They've been delivered as promised. I read this as HP not getting the performance they need to surpass SRAM at its own game and also be nonvolatile. Which, to me, is kind of duh. You have to bring new tech in from the edges - niche, but important, products that are very ill-served by existing tech. Once you've got your production ramped up and the kinks worked out, then you take on at the really central stuff like CPUs. Of course, it's very easy to say all this from my armchair :)
- aaggarwal 11y agoActually, HP had been doing that since quite some time. In 2008, they announced that they have discovered the memristor and would bring it in the market by 2012, which then shifted to 2014, then 2015, and now they are still not sure whether they will be able to utilize this by 2020. No surprise here.
