New storage technology 1000x faster than modern storage (Intel and Micron)

Um, I'm pretty sure they said this had 10x the storage density of raditional NAND.

EDIT: and Moore's Law only has a few years left, because we are soon at the point where the "gate" in transistors are the size of an atom, and once we reach that point, there is literally nothing we can do about it. Traditional transistors are reaching their full potential very soon.

This picture says otherwise ...

It's only got "10x greater density than DRAM" ...

I'm well of aware of an end sight to Moore's Law but that doesn't mean we can't keep extending it now ...

Considering you can get 16 GB of DRAM on a single unit, that would mean this could have 160 GB on the same size as one RAM chip. And if they sometime release this as a storage drive, who's to say it'll need DIMM connectors at all. Maybe they'll make a new, much faster counterpart to the SATA interface?

Given that Moore's Law will come to an end in like 7 years, you can only extend for so long... This has more future potential than continuing to shrink normal transistors.
