Slowpoke here, holy fucking shit. It's way denser than DRAM, it's almost as fast as DRAM, and it's non volatile.
They're going to be making dims which means we'll be getting much more system memory at cheaper prices, but the thing that's incredible is that they're going to be releasing SSDs next year that BTFO their fastest enterprise SSD today. What the actual fuck. How expensive will this be? Can we expect a 1TB SSD to be more than $5000?

>THEY FELL FOR THE NAND SSD MEME
As per your link
>It's supposed to complement both and provide a technology that sits in between the two by filling the latency and cost gap exists between DRAM and NAND.
But who knows if it'll really go like that.

I probably won't have a compatibly motherboard for a while, so regular SSDs are nice to have in the meantime.

I can feel the threads already.

Yeah sure. I remember when using holographic crystals was supposed to be the future. Terrabytes of data on the size of a DVD, oh and it could be read at over 1 GB/s, in parallel.
I'll wait until they actually have more than a proof of concept before I start sounding the alarm.

Add graphene there while you're at it. Miracle allotrope fucking where?
Shameless self bump.

While you have a good point, these technologies were showcased by academia, not companies. Company showcased tech is very likely to be real and coming- but likely to be either way too expensive for consumer space or just really disappointing.
>mfw using nand meme SSD as a system disk for many years already
>mfw people unironically wait the better technology for all these years
>mfw I encounter these slow as shit PCs with 7200rpm HDDs
What is this buzzword bombardment?
Did they finally make commercial crossbar memristor/resistive switching based memory?
