The Inquirer has that scoop. But what I found most interesting was this:
Intel is also evaluating a series of other non volatile technologies including Ovonics Unified Memory (OUM), MRAM, FeRAM and polymer memory, said Lai.
But he concentrated most on polymer memory, suggesting to us that Intel is doing more than just considering that technology.
Polymer memory, or polymeric ferroelectric RAM (PFRAM), uses polymer chains with a dipole moment. Data is stored by changing the polarisation of the polymer between metal lines, with zero transistors per bit of storage and the ability to stack polymer layers.
The memory is non volatile and has fast read and write speeds, with microsecond initial reads, and a write speed comparable to flash memory. Link at Inquirer
