ReRAM competes to be tech's next memory chip standard

BBC News

A next generation RAM memory that remembers data even when the power is turned off is nearing production. Unlike most RAM, ReRAM is non-volatile memory, meaning that it retains data without power... However, Dr Will Branford [Physics] of Imperial College thinks ReRAM still has a chance to come out on top. 'The next generation of RAM will combine the speed of power-hungry DRAM with the non-volatility of flash. MRAM, the current leader in this field, is already a commercial product. [But] Elpida's work shows that ReRAM is a viable competitor for this market.'"
