So, about 2ms of use? That lifetime seems like this is far from practical as a replacement for SRAM.

The cycles are programming cycles, not clock cycles. Their stability measurement was 60,000 seconds.

Would it be lower power than DRAM?

Yes!

If it's low power you can stack it higher without worrying so much about it melting. This might make a great high capacity cache.

My guess is they are thinking of it more as a replacement for dram or disk. I didn't read far enough to learn if it failed after all those cycles or just "we stopped testing it". Either way it sounds promising.

Can it be used as FPGA config RAM? Also, maybe for faster SSDs?

I think they mean write-read cycles.
