Freescale now producing MRAM in volume

[unixronin]

The BBC reports that Freescale has begun volume production of MRAM (magnetoresistive random access memory).  The first MRAM product offering is a four-megabit 3.3V chip with 35ns read/write times, packaged in an industry-standard TSOP SRAM form factor.  The MRAM technology is non-volatile, like flash RAM, but unlike flash RAM, does not degrade with use and has a potentially unlimited lifetime (as well as being considerably faster).  It consumes considerably less power than either DRAM or flash RAM.

Freescale's a spin-off from Motorola, right?

That's correct, yes.
