Everspin has a few (all SMT and 3.3v). As I recall they run ~$20/ea for 4Mb (512K x 8 or
256K x 16).

Flash, EEprom and Magnetic FRAM and MRAM) types

properties for a random access read write memory.
I think you?re mistaken about FRAM and MRAM. They are byte oriented devices
and are designed to replace SRAM + battery. Which in my mind makes them
preferable as they reduce parts count. The current MRAM has unlimited write
endurance (same as SRAM) and depending upon the part is 35-55ns access/cycle
time. FRAM has a similar access time but requires an internal restore so it?s cycle
time is about 2x (one of the reasons I prefer MRAM now).
