The silicon transistors are the stuff they are made all electronic devices in circulation, but eventually there will be a physical limit to how many of them will crush all within a processor chip. Move around on tiny size is admirable, but some are looking for answers to HP in a completely different technology.

The company spoke to the New York Times of his memristor (memory resistor) under development that promises to make data processing and storage functions (even without an electrical charge) and is able to superimpose on a three-dimensional matrix that would allow a potential scaling down the line. The promises for the future include a memristor three nanometers can turn on and off in a nanosecond, as well as a density of 20 GB of memory per square centimeter, which could be expected within three years. The memristor has already been successfully tested to run “hundreds of thousands” of reads and writes without fail, so the data are in hand. Now you just have patience.
