Intel’s chief technology officer Justin Rattner is set to give the first public demonstration of the company’s PRAM (phase-change RAM) technology at this week’s Intel Developer Forum (IDF) conference.

PRAM is a type of non-volatile memory being developed by Intel and several other companies. The prototype chips are seen as a replacement for flash memory and, perhaps, DRAM.
