"....It's quite clear Intel doen't want the Memristor...." That's a bit harsh on Intel. What this actually is (hopefully) is hp learning the lesson that it can't buck the market. Remember hp's HyperFabric? They got bored waiting for a clustering interconnect standard and so made their own - great tech, eventually stable and fast, but hideously expensive due to it only selling with hp's servers. But hp persisted, pushed on with a faster development, HyperFabric2, even in the obvious threats of cheap 10Gb Ethernet and Infiniband (some would say in denial of). At the time they ranted on about it being a technically better product, but they didn't convince any other vendors to join the HyperFabric party. They made the mistake of not getting partners onboard and HyperFabric became the Betamax to a range of cheaper and more widely available offerings. Unfortunately, without a major partner onboard (especially Intel's preference for their own solution), the Memristor has become a scientific wonder zombie, and maybe it's better that someone at hpE makes a decision based on market logic and pulls the plug now.
