Shit I remember reading about MRAM at least a decade ago. I thought it was going to be the next big thing to advance computers, but it never showed up outside some rare industrial use cases.

The great thing they could do with that is have RAM that keeps its data while powered off. You could possibly turn your PC on and off like a lightswitch, instead of booting up over a number of seconds/minutes. But now that we have NVME SSDs and stuff, we are already getting close to that
