According to my awesome PSA that everyone ignored 👀
Does this means RAM is going to be cheap again at some point?

Thanks for sharing. Do you think this new tech will be available for retail anytime soon?
Looks like we have in the neighborhood of 2 years for spintronics and photonics to start hitting. These things are already in the field, supply chains maturing. Battery tech maybe more like 5, because those things are just pilots.
Amazing. And yes I've been hearing about solid batteries since a while ago and still not well developed enough
Yeah, I always take "5 years' with a grain of salt (pun intended) and "5 to 15" is a "probably never". Batteries are the weakest link, but will probably get there. Spinteinics will be the biggest win and they'rejust ironing out production scaling. Already in substantial commercial use.
