The article I read yesterday on it said that they currently only have some
sample DRAM cells working (a small number of bits). The sample cells were
done with E-beam lithography.

They don't expect to have a working 64M prototype for a year or two.

The article was in the trade-rag that arrived yesterday (EE-times ?).
