Today’s computer is shunted on three things.
1. Processors – manipulate computations
2. RAM – which retrieves info in quickly in realtime while pc is turned on.
3. Magnetic Disks – which store info when compu is shut

To facilitate the solution to problems created by volatile RAM chips, researchers are working on something they call MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory).

MRAM is based on magneto resistance n started back in 1950s but was overtaken by silicon chips due to performance, compactness n cost-effectiveness. Now researchers have found a way for single MRAM element to act as any of the four logic gates – AND, OR, NAND, NOR. Computer processors manipulate information by sending signals through logic gates. Future magnetic logic processors will contain many programmable magnetoresistive elements unlike today’s processor which has hardwired circuits that are dedicated to one type of logic operation. Today’s processor is optimised for different tasks – running a car brake system or running a personal computer by arranging these logic gates in certain order. Jus think the ease of getting it programmed on the fly can do so many wonders.

MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory) is fast compared to RAM chips, n is also non volatile, which means that it retains info even when computer is turned off. Researchers from Germany say that it is also possible to use MRAM for computational stuff. Since the memory is configurable, computing circuits formed from it can be adjusted in realtime to optimise processing for a particular application. This reprogrammability n non volatility feature is expected to increase the computational efficiency for all kinda processors relating to the work done on them. Your computer will learn bout what applications you use often, n the optimize for running of that particular process in real time ie. straight what HP states in its commercial. Your computer is personal again. MRAM is expected to hit the market next year. I ll try n get my hands on a copy when that happens.
