1. The article discusses the ongoing debate at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) over the successors to NAND memory, which remains the preferred choice for non-volatile memory chips. 2. It highlights various approaches by industry leaders like Samsung, Hitachi, Infineon, and Motorola to develop new memory technologies, including chalcogenide-based memory, NanoCrystal memory, and MRAM. 3. Despite 20 years of research and development, no clear successor to NAND has emerged, indicating the complexity and challenges in advancing memory technology.
