Micron representatives explained that produced in collaboration with Intel Memory Type 3D XPoint first appear in the server-class drives, and the demand from ordinary consumers will be limited due to the high prices of products, "the first wave". Over time, however, the family QuantX drives must not only appear in the desktop, but in the mobile segment. The expansion memory 3D XPoint company Micron will begin simultaneously with Intel, in the second quarter of the coming year.
This week we remember the quarterly reports Micron, and related activities of the conference the company's management has demonstrated a lower willingness to speak frankly about the memory-based products such as 3D XPoint. At least, the head of Micron did not specify in which segment of the market a new generation of drives will appear in the next year first. It was only noted that Micron already has a few clients, and they will receive next year drives family QuantX in production volumes.
I must say that the desktop segment in his speech Micron representatives at this time generally lack attention, specifying the data center sector and mobile segment as those markets where 3D XPoint memory will be in demand. On the increase in output volume and a significant reduction of the cost of memory it will take at least two to three years.
