Re: "It's actually faster than SDRAM. The limited testing they did before the Intel collaboration was done with 5ns write pulse-widths. I believe that's a good bit faster than SDRAM"

Faster than off die SRAM but it'll have to be faster than that to replace on die cache but with wider data paths who knows? Wish Paul was around because I seem to remember him commenting on this a while back.

Do you have a position in ENER?

Wily,

You are way off here.

OUM is unproven in yield.

Even if it works we are talking 2-3 yrs before it is productized.

And On chip sram has speeds of sub 1ns.

At 2Ghz processors a year or so from now we are talking sub .5ns cycle times.

Having said that there are several interesting NVM approaches that folks are working on.

They will provide major challenges to rotating magnetic memory and traditional Flash, IMHO.

regards,

Kash
