    Nicole, <br>
    <br>
    Thanks for the reply. I figured that was the case.  Just for the
    record, I wasn't criticizing you, I was criticizing Intel/Micron for
    not providing them. New technology is great, but how it's
    performance compares to existing products is really the most
    important information. <br>

                This could change a few things, non-transistor memory.<br>

                "An Intel spokesperson categorically denied that it was
                a phase-change<br>
                memory process or a memristor technology. Spin-transfer
                torque was also<br>
                dismissed. Whatever it is, Intel and Micron have been
                developing it for<br>
                about ten years, and together as a joint venture since
                2012."<br>

            Did I miss something, or were performance metrics (or at
            least estimates) completely missing from this article? The
            one graphics says the cells can switch states 1000x faster
            than NAND, but what does that mean for a complete package,
            after all the other memory components are in the picture
            (bus, controller, etc)?<br>
