Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

The article doesn't say how fast the chip is.

yes, to be useful, it would have to be screaming fast.

sounds to me like this might be what hard drives will be made of in the future ?

They don't give much away regarding state persistence and refresh rates which would give an indication of power-draw and heat.
Even if this design is "slow" by SD/DDRAM standards, it would likely still be much faster than the movable-head Hard drive technology that we have (otherwise it would be less worthwhile pursuing and we'd not be seeing this tid-bit).
As we have well and truly moved into the electronic document age this is the kind of chip that we need for faster document retrieval online and it's the sort of memory platform that the traffic and data heavy web sites need for storing their larger catalogs on for online interrogation.
There's definitely a market for this already and I'd expect some server hardware developers to be forming a disorderly queue shortly
