TI just released an FRAM memory (instead of FLASH) version of the MSP430.
It has several features which make it better suited to ultra-low power operation.
I know FRAM was popular 10 years or so ago, but never really made it big. I'd always assumed someone had a patent locked up that made other companies avoid it. Maybe that's changed recently?
MRAM and FRAM are commercially available solutions, but the status quo of the computer industry is to build SSDs out of much much slower (but far more dense) Flash RAM.
