Comment on HP plans to release first memristor, alternative to flash and SSDs in 18 monthsparent

Except addressing that amount of memory is still going to need a bus, it doesn't matter if the memory is sitting right on top of the CPU core or in the next room. It simply isn't going to be possible to provide direct access to every single memory cell when there are billions of them. This is still going to be a von Neumann (actually Modified Harvard) architecture, it's just going to be blazingly fast.

Now, once we start applying memristor implicational logic data processing we will have truely left the confines of the von Neumann architecture.
