HP Memristors Will Reinvent Computer Memory ‘By 2014’
HP is two and half years away from offering hardware that stores data with memristors, a new breed of electrical building-block that could lead to servers and other devices that are far more efficient than today’s machines, according to report citing one of the technology’s inventors.
As reported by The Register, at a recent conference in Oxnard, California, HP’s Stan Williams said that commercial memristor hardware will be available by the end of 2014 at the earliest.
A company spokesman tells us that the company has not officially announced its plan for memristors. “HP has not yet committed to a specific product roadmap for memristor-based products,” he said. “HP does have internal milestones that are subject to change, depending on shifting market, technology, and business conditions.”
But Williams’ remarks indicate that the introduction of the technology has been pushed back. Previously, Williams had said that memristor hardware would arrive in the summer of 2013.
