And to be honest when the next generation of flight sims comes out, whatever they are, you wont be wanting to play rubbishy old technology like CoD. I am getting a six core upgrade in a few days and I doubt that will make me any more likely to play CoD over RoF or MSFSX than at the moment.

No, this is a far bigger and much farther reaching development. A Memristor is called "the missing link" in electrical circuits...well it has been found now, so hold on to your hat. The best hope that we have for our sim, is that memristor's find their way in to graffic card's, and memory slots fairly soon.
Memristor will change circuit design in the 21st century as radically as the transistor changed it in the 20th




One guys guess

"POSSIBLE INVENTIONS UTILIZING MEMRISTORS TIME


1. memory for cameras, cell phones, iPods, iPads, etc. 1 to 5 years 2. universal memory replacing hard drives, RAM, flash, etc. in all computer devices 5 to 10 years 3. complex self learning neural networks and hybrid transistor/memristor circuits 5 to 15 years 4. memristic logic circuits on par with CPUs and other transistor circuits 15 to 20 years 5. advanced artificial thinking brains 20 to 30 years? 6. artificial conscious brains ? 7. memory and brains capable of living millions of years ? 8. duty-cycle artificial conscious beings capable of interstellar travel ? 9. creation of a real god
I'm kidding! "

Ok. Now tell me if you call that "progress" or not.
