They may be using some other process to manipulate the properties of the media in question. Good old fashioned solid state physics to the rescue I guess. It just saddens me that HP borked the whole memristor fabrication issue with their Machine project (a non-von-Neumann architecture would be fun to toy with).

It could be the way Intel is layering the memristors.

>From there, memory cells are layered in an intricate three-dimensional checkerboard pattern that Intel researchers say is 10 times denser than conventional memory.

Maybe there's no difference ? maybe they want to play the stock market, because for memristors, they might have competition, for example from crossbar inc ?

The memristor patents might be an issue as well.

Maybe intel mostly licenses the tech from crossbar, and just scales the production ?
