Read moreTheseus was a great hero in Greek mythology known for qualities such as strength, courage and wisdom. Therefore it's no surprise that a team of Greek IBM scientists in Zurich and a professor from the University of Patras, Greece, borrowed his name as a codeword for a groundbreaking new memory technology, which combines flash with phase change memory (PCM) on a PCI-e card. Initial tests have clocked 12x and 275x improvements - and that's no myth.
