Intel lets slip roadmap for Optane SSDs with 1,000X performance | Computerworld
http://www.computerworld.com/article/3082658/data-storage/intel-lets-slip-roadmap-for-optane-ssds-with-1000x-performance.html

This was clarified from Intel's roadmap obtained by Taiwan's IT news site · BenchLife.


Currently, Intel deals with processors of the sixth generation microarchitecture "SkyLake" generation, but according to the roadmap, the seventh generation "KabyLake" is expected to appear in the third quarter of 2016, the fourth quarter of 2016 It is stated that development of "SSD of Intel Optane" and memory starts.

The standard adopted in "Intel Optane" is Intel's next generation memory standard "3D Xpoint" jointly developed with Micron Technology in 2015. "DRAMCheaper,NAND flash memoryFaster memory capacity ", the recording density is 10 times that of DRAM, the reading and writing speed is 1000 times that of NAND type flash memory, and durability is 1000 times as well. Corresponding to the number of times it corresponds to 1 million reads and writes, effectively creating a memory that can be used all the time. Moreover, it is the same as NAND type flash memory in terms of nonvolatility.

In the roadmap, from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017Enthusiast"Intel Optane SSD PCIe / NVMe Gen 3 × 4" (Mansion Beach), "Intel Optane SSD PCIe / NVMe Gen 3 × 2" (Brighton Beach), "Intel Optane Memory PCIe / NVMe Gen 3 × 2 (m. 2) System Acce. Gen 1.0 "(Stony Beach).

Also planned is Mansion Beach's refresh, "Intel Optane SSD Gen 3 × 4 (m.2 / BGA)", "Intel Optane Memory Gen 3 × 4 (m.2 / BGA) System Acce. Gen 2.0" The name of Carson Beach is also visible.
