Stan Williams of HP Labs gave a talk recently at Rice, his alma mater. He was describing the "HP Machine" they are working on, with memristors at the bottom of a hardware and software stack rearchitected from scratch. Don't look to be able to buy any memristors from HP anytime soon. HP predicts that their own internal demand, in producing the HP Machine, will consume all their memristor production for years.

Any link?

Here is the abstract of the talk. There was a video made, but I don't see it online yet.

Haha.

Let's see if one of four fundamental electronic components will be independently productized and sold by other vendors or countries to everyone-but-HP. Anyone remember IBM hardware monopolies?

Would we like a world where HP makes memristors, Google makes resistors, Amazon makes capacitors, and everyone else waits for leftover inventory?
