This, but again, not yet.... Startup's 'RRAM' Tech Promises 1TB Memory for Mobile Devices http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422734,00.asp The key benefits users will get from Crossbar's RRAM technology and the capability for "3D-stacking" of multiple chips in a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) package, per the company, are: Highest Capacity: Up to 1TB of storage on a single chip; multiple terabytes with 3D stacking Lowest Power: Extends Battery Life to Weeks, Months, or Years Highest Performance: 20x faster write than NAND Easiest SoC Integration: Simple stacking on logic in standard CMOS at most advanced nodes Most Reliable: 10x the endurance of NAND, approaching DRAM reliability You can fit a lot of postage stamps inside a 3.5" casing... ;) Cheers A.
