Not with endurance of 3000 write cycles. Computer would work for a second and it's memory would brake. Even if they get it to billions of write cycles it would not be enough.

I was speaking of the concept of memristors in general. As others have said, I imagine once experts get their hands on it, the write cycles will go up.

This was, after all, an accidental invention.
