IBM come out with a new experimental memory type every five minutes but none of them make it to actual products.

@zarx

If the transistors can only be made on a scale ~50x larger than silicon that's its entire advantage negated, and I think that's likely,


Currently yes but that is why we don't have graphene chips now in 5-10 years we should have solved that problem if not moved on to something else entirely.

Well CMOS is good down to 11nm according to Intel.

By the time we need something better than 11nm, process R&D costs will be so high that no one will be able to afford the next transition for a while. If you need to spend more than 1.3 billion dollars every two years, I'm not sure any company other than Intel will want to do it. And if there's no competition there is no advancement.
