Just ONE THOUSAND times BETTER than FLASH! Intel, Micron's amazing claim

Re: @Lamb0

Why would this be embedded in phones? Phones aren't limited by flash's speed or lifetime, so there is no reason to add something more expensive to get better performance on either metric.

I think you're facing the wrong direction. If I were building phones, I'd be considering this as a potential replacement for mobile DRAM:

Lower per GB cost

Nonvolatile could* mean less power usage

Lower speed should be ok given phone processors compared to server/PC processors.

*unless, of course, the power needed to change a value is significantly higher than mobile DRAM. That's one of the pieces suspiciously missing from the article.
