Sort of sounds like a microminature version of what we used to call "core". Those were little tiny magnetic donuts, with write and sense wires running through them.

MRAM could lead to 'instant on' computers, allowing users to turn computers on and off as quickly as a light switch.

YES!!!!

This is really interesting stuff.

Really interesting will be coming soon, as the various non-volatile RAM devices become large enough to replace the last remaining moving part in your computer: the hard drive. The flash standard is close, but still too slow. One of these days, though, somebody is going to break into a NV-RAM concept that equals RAM for I/O.

That changes everything.
