Woah the future is bright for fast memory storage with Micron/Intel 3D Xpoint Micron Technology, Inc. - 3D XPoint Technology Intel's crazy-fast 3D XPoint Optane memory heads for DDR slots (but with a catch) | PCWorld Intel and Micron begin production on new class of non-volatile memory, creating the first new memory category in more than 25 years. New 3D XPoint™ technology brings non-volatile memory speeds up to 1,000 times faster than NAND, the most popular non-volatile memory in the marketplace today. The companies invented unique material compounds and a cross point architecture for a memory technology that is 10 times denser than conventional memory. New technology makes new innovations possible in applications ranging from machine learning to real-time tracking of diseases and immersive 8K gaming.
1000x times faster than NAND would be 1000x 550MB/s at SATA spec cap only = 550,000 MB/s or 537GB/s or 4,297Gbp/s Unfortunately a new cpu is needed Intel's crazy-fast 3D XPoint Optane memory heads for DDR slots (but with a catch) | PCWorld
yay coming later this year i think Intel, Micron Unveil 3D XPoint Memory, 1000X Faster Than NAND Flash - Sampling Later This Year Intel Demos 3D XPoint Platform - Reveals Real Life Benchmarks of its Optane Based SSDs Against NAND Counterparts 2.09GB/s
so it's started http://www.computerworld.com/articl...-first-optane-memory-modules-for-testing.html - well soon
