What’s the Difference Between All Those Emerging Memory Technologies?
There are many memory technologies competing with flash. Find out what the options are and how they work.
As opposed to the FRAM, an MRAM actually does use magnetism to store bits. This makes some people worry that bits will be disturbed by external magnetic fields, but these bits are flipped by energy that is applied in very close proximity to the magnet, so the local field is extraordinarily dense compared to most externally applied fields. In other words, although you could cause bits to by applying an external magnetic field, that field would need to be extremely strong, so it would take a big effort to cause any trouble.

Cloud And Solid State Advances Give Customers New Choices
EverSpin said that it had begun 40 nm perpendicular Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) STT-MRAM 256Mb chip production in Q4 2017 and will be scaling into volume production in 2018. The company says that this advance is an enabling step to bring MRAM to more markets since this is the first MTJ STT-MRAM entering mass production. EverSpin provides single chip MRAM solutions, while its production partner, Global Foundries, is putting this technology into embedded applications. The 256MB STT-MRAM solutions employs an ST-DDR3 interface. EverSpin says that it has shipped over 70 million MRAM chips so far for data centers, cloud storage, energy, industrial, automotive and transportation markets.

Everspin Targets Niches for MRAM (EE Times)
TORONTO — Consistent challenge with emerging memories: the volume must go up for the price to come down, and the price has to come down for the volume to go up. Everspin Technologies is hoping, however, that specific industries will favor value over price-per-bit as it ramps up production of its MRAM.

The Future of Spintronic Memory
Over the past 60 years, semiconductor chips have become smaller, cheaper, and more powerful, and their proliferation has enabled the ubiquitous computing we enjoy today. Intel founder Gordon Moore suggested in 1965 that improvements in manufacturing techniques would allow overall processing power for computers to double approximately every two years as the number of transistors on each integrated circuit doubled, an observation that became known as Moore's Law.

Everspin Technologies ready to ship nvNITRO ST-MRAM SSDs
Everspin Technologies is close to completing its first move into solid-state drives. Everspin recently started taking orders for solid-state drives (SSDs) that use spin-torque magnetoresistive random access memory (ST-MRAM) technology. The nvNITRO Storage Accelerator SSDs can deliver ultrafast performance far in excess of NAND flash and approaching DRAM's speed.
