Ann: David Perlmutter appointed to Board, page-69

retiredyoung,

Couldn't read the entire seeking alpha article because I'm not registered but from that video Intel's 3DxPoint memory and Weebit's Si oxide memory work on the same principals. I wonder what the 3Dxpoint memory uses as its resistive memory material. I'd say it's not silicone oxide as Rice/Weebit has the patents for that. A more expensive material maybe?

I wonder if they are also employing porosity? If Intel go ahead with 3DxPoint memory the competition will surely heat up (Samsung, SkanDisk/Western Digital). What are Apple and Samsung going to use?

If Weebit's technology flies as Tour says it could because it uses the go to material for its memory and because it's cheaper and outperforms on every metric then that should be very interesting. There is no doubt that this type of resistive non volatile memory IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE. Whether Weebit have a place in that future is literally the million dollar question. If the industry wants Si oxide they'll have to come to us as we were the first to lodge patents from what I understand.

Fantastic that we are getting a chance to bite at this cherry here in Australia. Has Perlmutter got a score to settle with the blokes who took the chance of the CEO job from him at Intel? Would be great if that was his motivation. Show Intel that even though he left he'll still be calling the shots by providing a viable competitor/alternative to their world disruptive technology.
