2016 is soon over - and this was a very exciting year for the MRAM industry. Everspin floated on the Nasdaq and started sampling 256Mb STT-MRAM chips, other companies also announced and launched MRAM devices, and IBM announced that the "time for STT-MRAM is now". Interest in MRAM technologies is certainly on the rise!
