Seems to be a lot of memory technologies "just around the corner"... when will any of them become a reality..
Memory performance really need to start to improve

Agreed on the first part, not so much the 2nd. RAM doesn't really to improve, its already plenty fast enough and it isn't a bottleneck. What needs to happen is to lower latencies, or at least spread the ratio between latencies and higher frequencies. Although what REALLY needs to happen is quadruple memory channels, especially for AMD. While the 8 and 12 core optersons support that, today I don't see much of a point in having 2 slots per channel anymore.
