HP research could yield faster, more powerful PCs http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-20002029-76.html
A new discovery by HP could lead to faster, more powerful computers and other devices in the near future. ... Previously seen mostly as a new type of storage similar to flash memory, HP found that the memristor can also perform its own logic. Such a discovery can pave the way for chips that can both perform calculations and hold data, potentially eliminating the need for a traditional core CPU. ... In another five years, such chips could give handheld devices 10 times the memory capacity they now have and help supercomputers work faster than Moore's Law ever thought possible. ... So do any of you more scientific types no about this interesting sounding memristor thing? I have less then a rudimentary understanding of electric circuits, but it sounds fascinating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
