Yeah, that stuff. Was recently discontinued, Micron pulled out, there's been some articles about why. Eventually I guess we'll have CXL, which might catch on, but then there's the delay for software support. It's a shame so much of computing is locked in to the "local minima" of current architecture it's difficult to break out into a new area of the search space.

It would be cool to play with a computer with persistent storage at the center, surrounded by a ring of compute, for instance.

And weren't we supposed to have memristors by now? ;)

Well they were even more expensive than DRAM. It is unfortunate we still haven't find a way to further reduce the cost of DRAM. Or at least a roadmap / projection towards $1/GB in Cost.
