Magnetic Memory Chips
Posted by Jeu George on July 18th, 2006
After tons of technology innovations in the memory chip industrty, the MRAM’s are finally here. Rather than relying on electric charges to store memory, this uses magnetic properties like orienatation of magnetic layers in the cells to determince the values of data bits. Unlike flash memory, this has infinite read/write endurance.
This will give it the capability to store memory even after the device is powered off. Using MRAM in a PC, will give you instant reboot and shutdown capabilites, with the need to probably only recycle time dependant scenarios like network connections etc.
It will be interesting to watch FSL’s stock price over the coming months.
