With Memristor, HP wants to kill the SSD and the RAM to join together them in the same module…

With memristor, HP anticipates the future of memory. An ideal solution with large storage capacity of flash memory and access speed of RAM ...

HP is working with Hynix memory specialist, a new hybrid device called Memristor. If it is not expected before 2013, we learn that it would be as fast as the DRAM and thus more efficient than flash memory. Memristor could therefore eventually sign the end of the SSD or flash memory implemented in mobile devices as we know them today.

Memristor offer because the performance of DRAM with the amount of storage space SSD while allowing energy savings. The SSD-killer would be developed in the laboratories of HP already has at least four years and is not yet fully developed. This alternative to conventional DRAM array is similar to the ReRAM (Resistive or RAM) and may even overshadow the SRAM, the SRAM.

In practice, it is to superimpose up to 500 billion "memristor" using micro-layers of conductive films with a thickness of only 5 nm. HP, which is still working its process, consider lifting the veil on this new solution in about a year and a half.

Stanley Williams, an executive at HP, had already suggested that the idea was to design products to replace the SSD and RAM today. That entices our curiosity, even though we will obviously take our troubles patiently to find out more ...
