Nicole,
Thanks for the reply. I figured that was the case. Just for the record,
I wasn't criticizing you, I was criticizing Intel/Micron for not
providing them. New technology is great, but how it's performance
compares to existing products is really the most important information.

Prentice,
If they had been able to give a single metric or estimate we would
have published it. There are frustratingly few details here. At all.
But we will keep digging.

about ten years, and together as a joint venture since 2012."

Did I miss something, or were performance metrics (or at least
estimates) completely missing from this article? The one graphics
says the cells can switch states 1000x faster than NAND, but what
does that mean for a complete package, after all the other memory
components are in the picture (bus, controller, etc)?
