Panasonic preps samples of next-gen ReRAM devices, NAND preps for early retirement

Panasonic preps samples of next-gen ReRAM devices, NAND preps for early retirement

The Galaxy S III may rock an impressive battery life, but if Panasonic has its way, even greater benchmarks could be on the horizon. The company is ready to start making samples of a new ReRAM microcontroller, and - like Sharp and Elpida - it could start mass production as soon as next year. Here's a little refresher: ReRAM is a new kind of memory with re-write speeds far superior to NAND because it doesn't need power to hold onto information. Panny's chip will initially be used in simple devices like fire alarms, but the tech could eventually find its way into our TVs and even smartphones and tablets.
