HP lab's new memristor could help with pattern recognition and AI
Memristor will make computers more energy efficient and faster, but should also enable highly efficient pattern recognition and pattern memory in circuits. Retention/memory as a fundamental component. As computer designs get adjusted to take advantage of this over the next 5-9 years.

Down the rabbit hole we go!

Down with brute force! Long live elegance!

I've heard that these are ten times slower than transistors, but have something like one thousand to one million times the efficiency... plus they're only 11nm wide, contrasted with the minimum 20nm for a transistor, that's really good. And they can go down to 4nm. AND they get more efficient the smaller they are.
