A magnetic tunnel junction cell that has a ferromagnetic pinned layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, and a non-magnetic barrier layer therebetween. The free layer has a larger area than the pinned layer, in some embodiments at least twice the size of the pinned layer, in some embodiments at least three times the size of the pinned layer, and in yet other embodiments at least four times the size of the pinned layer. The pinned layer is offset from the center of the free layer. The free layer has a changeable vortex magnetization, changeable between clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
