MRAM Goes From Vaporware To Reality

MRAM has just gone from vaporware to actually existing. MRAM since its conception in the 1990s has been touted as the next big thing and it was believed that once it went live it would be the dominant memory standard because of its various advantages. Therefore, anyone with a commercial product will have the first mover advantage and will be all set to reap the benefits. Free scale Semiconductor Inc. has finally announced the availability of its new memory chips. The company’s magneto resistive random-access memory (MRAM) is capable of retaining data without power-like flash memory chips, but also has the ability to read and write data at much greater speeds. Also, unlike flash memory chips, MRAM doesn’t degrade over time. MRAM devices are capable of read and write speeds of 200MB/sec. Watch this space. This is the birth of radical new technology and the wave of the future!
