Seems to be a pretty big leap if true. They claim that wherever flash is at the time, they'll be 2x better. Whether that means throughput or density I don't know. Memristors offer nanosecond seek performance, as well as write cycles measured in trillions (10^12) instead of thousands.
More interesting is this part: "We put the non-volatile memory right on top of the processor chip, and, because youre not shipping data off-chip, that means we get the equivalent of 20 years of Moores Law performance improvement," said Williams."
They claim they can offer 2GBytes per CPU core. Pretty insane to think about 16GBytes of CPU cache on an 8core chip. I'm sure it's not as fast as current cache, but still.
