German RAM

Aug 17, 2008 1044 hrs IST

German researchers claim they've found a way to blow past the MRAM.


We've already heard plenty of claims about how MRAM (or magnetoresistive RAM) would leave traditional memory in the dust, but a group of German researchers are now saying that they've found a way to blow past the MRAM that IBM and others are just now putting the finishing touches on.



Their big breatkthrough, it seems, is a new spin-torque system that can flip the magnetic field storing the 1s and 0s with only a single "wobble" being allowed to take place. That's opposed to the magnetic field in current MRAM systems, which requires some time to settle into place each time its flipped. None of this is going to be out anytime soon though.
