Intel's phase change memory is supposed to be unlimited cycles and a 30 year storage
time. I don't think core had
the 30 year limitation. The Ramtron 5 volt parts had a cycle limit
but the 3.3 volt parts are supposed to be unlimited. At work,
we have been testing a 3.3 volt part, running a simple
memory test at 150ns cycles for over 6 months with no errors
(yet).

Does that stuff have a limit in terms of how many times you can write to it,
like some of the earlier choices did? I did look at a bit of data on those
parts, but didn't get the answer to that one out of it...

You are supposed to forget about static RAM and
dynamic RAM 'cause those
were not too terribly important in the whole stream of computing
evolution.. What *is* important is flash memory! Jus' like core mem it
keeps its thoughts even when the power is off... That is the modern
computin' connection missin' link! :P
It seems that we're coming full circle--I just read an article that
says Intel plans on deploying FRAM on some one of its products. If
FRAM gets Intel's blessing, it's sure to be the Next Big Thing in
nonvolatile memory.
