Intel's next-gen memory closer to reality.

Researchers are two steps closer to creating a mass-market version of technology called phase-change memory that could change how computers of the future are put together.

Stackable memory advance brings flash-killer closer to market.

Intel and Numonyx have announced an advance that will let them stack multiple layers of phase-change memory on top of one another, giving rise to denser versions of a nonvolatile memory technology that some call a flash-killer.
