MRAM From Freescale

[bloodline]

I wondered when mram would pop up on a.org... this is a massive step for memory technology... Though the Amiga will neverget to use such a technology... it is certainly possible that it will replace all other kinds of RAM (if they can get the speeds up), and will replace all ROMS/Flash if they can get the densities up.

Hybrid Hard Drives will benefit... though they need about 2000 times the 512K curently being manufactured :-)

This news does explain where Freescale's development budget was being spent... it certainly wans't going on CPUs :-)

And their little gamble appears to have paid off... Working MRAM could make Freescale a major player again!

What happens to MRAM in the presence of magnetic fields?

A question I've been pondering for a while... it seems, but don't quote me on this, that it is unaffected by them :-) - from what I've read so far... about a thousand web sites and a few scientific papers, which didn't mention the effect of external magnetic fields...
