Paper Title: Persistent Memory Technology Roadmap and Market

Paper Abstract: Persistent memory has attracted increasing interest with many current applications, potential future applications, and multiple technologies available. We show projected markets for persistent memory including technologies, costs, applications, and revenue, as well as how it may displace existing markets. NVDIMM-F,-N, -P current applications plus others that will be enabled by RRAM, MRAM, and 3D Xpoint are reviewed, along with a discussion of market impacts.
