One of the most anticipated events of the year can be considered the entry of solid-state disk memory type PCM or PRAM.
Mass production of memory 3D XPoint was to begin in the first quarter this year, by Micron company. This brand new production with about 100 new materials goes as smoothly as might be desired for developers. Micron representatives hints about the complexities of 3D XPoint production forced to worry about Intel's ability to fulfill the promise - to introduce commercial drives Optane more this year. According to recent leaks Intel plans on the SSD market, even before the end of 2016, Intel will introduce Optane drives in two product lines: Mansion Beach and Stony Beach.
As the slide, Optane storage for a long time - a year or two, or even longer . This SSD for workstations and PC enthusiasts, as well as SSD cache for a wide range of destination systems. In the first case will be capacious and expensive, and in the second - is available, but with a smaller capacity.
Solid state drives Intel Optane for the upper range of performance and price for 2017 will use the PCI Express 3.0 interface with 4 or 2 lines with support NVMe. older SSD Optane Mansion Beach complement the range Optane Brighton Beach in the first quarter to half the bandwidth of the interface, which can be considered as the emergence of low-end models in the older segment (and slightly cheaper). In 2018 or later, the continuation of the "younger" SSD Optane Brighton Beach line will be SSD Optane Carson Beach. Aggregators Carson Beach will be issued in the form of single-SSD in the BGA-package form factor and M.2. In fact, it will be the client version of the SSD Optane.
In the segment of mass SSD, Intel will promote planar NAND flash memory with 3D NAND cell and a 3 bit cell . In the foreseeable future, according to leaks, Optane drives do not fall into this niche. Related Products :
