NEC memory to replace flash and RAM

The battle for the future memory rages between NEC and the dance with the "CAM", alias Content Addressable Memory. The Japanese company with promises that this memory will be possible to replace the conventional RAM and flash memory. The operation is based on MRAM (Magnetic RAM) with a "magnetic wall" that moves and can set the data area, as shown in the chart.

Memory is indeed as fast as RAM with an access time of 5 nanoseconds - flash memory is around a millisecond - but is able to keep the information without being replenished, such as flash memory. The chips currently produced are only 16 kilobits and etched in 90 nm, which is far from current standards, but they could eventually replace flash memory and RAM, which would provide computers able to start immediately.

• NEC makes content addressable memory to take data deposits sans power, RAM green with envy (13/06/2011)
• NEC outs spintronics content-addressable memory tech (13/06/2011)
• NEC creates storage chip as fast as RAM (13/06/2011)

EFI-X bootloader ultimate announced?

The EFI-X, this USB key for emulating an EFI "the modern equivalent of the BIOS - and install Mac OS X on standard PC, evolves. As a reminder, this is a USB stick containing open-source tools (like Chameleon) in a home package. The new version of EFI-X, version 3.0, should be faster and easier to manage in case of problems, but especially the next model will be interesting.

Indeed, the EFI-X will switch to internal and USB will be replaced by PCI-Express, even if in practice the USB versions also work in a tower via connectors "headers" internally. Big advantage of the PCI-Express, it would be possible - depending ASEM - to pass completely over the BIOS or EFI original machine, and then pass only the EFI-X.
