Wow, very cool. I think system memory will still hang around, because it is crucial to performance to have a super quick buffer. But if this technology can really come in greater densities, at reduced speed, and high capacities for cheaper then SSD then there is a real alternative to HDD on the horizon.

I'm confused as to why this is such a huge breakthrough...is it super small or what?
1) cheaper "SSDs" with 10-20 times the performance
2) MUCH cheaper "RAM" with 10-20 times the capacity

there's no reason to look at this as a breakthrough at all.
