I have a few doubts:
1) faster than flash and denser than flash and DRAM, but not faster than DRAM
2) power consumption when in use
3) possible local overheating if many close bits are in the lower resistance, higher current state
4) will it be better than competing solutions arriving to the market in the same period?
5) will it be profitable or newer better techs, possibly optical and holographic, will make it obsolete too early?

Two important questions: Is it as cheap as modern storage? What does it mean for video games?

Because if it isn't as cheap as modern storage, then it means nothing for video games, which means it's not worth discussing.

In the short term, sure. But it might mean something big for video games in a couple of generations even if it's too expensive now. Just as how high definition gaming wasn't really feasible 20 years ago.

With computers predicted to reach human intelligence somewhere around 2030-2050 this seems like just the right technology as part of achieving this. Maybe in the future there won't even be a mention of RAM it will just be the cpu/gpu power and how much storage a computer has.

Another milestone on the way to biological obliteration by our AI superiors.
