Amid a memory supply crisis, in small part fueled by a shortage of NAND flash, it's perhaps unsurprising that talk of a successor would now appear. Enter ReRAM, or 'resistive random access memory.'

According to Weebit Nano, this agreement will see its ReRAM tech "integrated into [Texas Instruments] advanced process nodes for embedded processing semiconductors." Despite what the name suggests, ReRAM isn't actually Random Access Memory, but a Non-Volatile Memory (think NAND, but not—I'll elaborate shortly).
