MRAM Inches Towards Prime Time

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the magnetic-media-exposed dept.

levin writes "According to an article over at EETimes, magnetoresistive RAM chips are getting a little more practical. Infineon Technologies released info on a new 16M MRAM component on Tuesday and the read and write cycle times of this chip make it 'competitive with established DRAM.' How long before nonvolatile memory becomes the solution to crash-prone software rather than better programming?"

    Yay! We're going to get instant-on computers, just like home computers in the '80s were. How are we going to achieve it? Some form of jumped-up magnetic core memory!
