MRAM prototype is claimed to deliver a 50 percent reduction in overall energy usage over current equivalent devices, a 30 percent boost in efficiency, and a 20 percent reduction in the current required to store data by flipping its magnetic bits

Too much mixing of units for me to interpret.

Is the 50% overall reduction supposed to be the sum of 30% efficiency plus the 20% bit-flip cost?

Wonder how compares to Everspin’s MRAM. just from reading the home page and your article, they focus version is marketing the persistent memory without power aspect for satellites and the article is geared towards energy efficiency for ai.
