Permit me to use an analogy so that you and others can understand:
imec (in this analogy = Holden).
Holden have given us a chassis.
4DS (in this analogy = some hypothetical wild car manufacturers who convinced Holden to work with them)
Holden have produced a functional chassis.
4DS have to test if the bits Holden built inside the chassis actually work. Because Holden could build anybody a chassis, supposing they had enough money, the company has to decide what goes into the chassis.
For 4DS it's a very unique detail. But we have to test if it's actually workable like our CAD drawings suggested.
if the interior details and working of the chassis are a success after 4DS testing, then we will take this concept car on the road and start selling / pitching to take over prospects. Ie: little ol' Aussie Holden sells to Global Player Toyota.
put your hand up if you have energy seen a beautiful chassis with no engine? With no heart in other words...
What 4DS are currently testing is if the chassis we have, actually has a f***ing engine!!!!
also there is the risk that reram doesnt take off at all and another of the emerging memory technologies is chosen by the powers that be.
though saying that ill be buying one the next announcement if the test results come back positive. Positive results will mean max two more iterations and 4ds will easily achieve the 1MB chip target in 2019. Poor test results could add a few more iterations, potentially pushing the 2019 date into 2020,
