Thanks Ken for the break in the absolute rubbish that is flowing.

The following was, to me, very very pertinent:-

"then comes the commercialisation, further technological improvement, PR (I think 4DS is lacking hard in this area, we need some informative videos or just simple information to keep people interested, informed and motivated to want to stick around and hopefully get a slice of the cake!!)"

You have very appropriately pointed out that 4DS lacks PR skills, and why should it have such skills anyway. I have already put it to DM that after the forthcoming meetings with imec, the 4DS Board of Directors ought do as you and I say, produce an informative video, for reasons stated.

Not being a technical person I learnt quite a lot about, for example, DRAM, by watching videos prepared by a Canadian Company, Branch Education. I know little about the company but clearly they have the skill set to produce the type of video you and I have in mind. Given the millions spent to reach this milestone the cost of a professional video would be peanuts.

Such a video would explain just what the "DAMN THING" , produced from the successful bringing together of the 4DS phase change memory technology and the imec megbit array is and explain how the very significant changes between PL3 and PL4 may have been brought about. Those significant changes have not, to date, been explained:-

Demonstrate write speed at 9.5 nanoseconds which significantly outperfperformed

Increased endurance in excess of 3 billion cycles on a megabit array

Verified equivalent DRAM read speed

Verified persistent memory with variable and tuneable retention
