IT'S HAPPENING THANK YOU BASED INTEL

>>58339343
Can you give me a version for idiots on what it's supposed to do?

>>58339358
As for now, it's a shit SSD.

>>58339343
>ships in Q4 2017

kek

>>58339358
looks like an M.2 SSD

>the initial drives are expected to be 16GB and 32GB in size

Dead on arrival

>>58339343
M and B keyed
That's SATA or pcie x2 at best.

>slower than SSD
>less capacity than SSD
>more expensive

Just buy a bigger SSD and/or RAM.

>>58339358
It's storage that will look on paper 100x faster than SSDs but in real world use be 1% faster for 15 dollars a gig.

The point of it is significantly lower response times and latency than usual ssds, to be used as cache drives. Not sequential speeds.

>>58339443
But does it have lower response times and latency than DDR3 memory?

> 1000 times faster 1000 times more reliable

What a fucken meme.

Intel Optane is a joke!

Intel Turbo Memory 2

>>58339358
It will probably have a fuckton of random read and write performance. Right now PCIe meme SSDs still have roughly the same random read and write performance as SATA and they are only page addressable.

I have 32gb worth of ram.
Why can't windows 10 just loads itself, in it's entirety (around 12gb) on start up?

>>58339376
jews

>>58340338
Just set up a ramdisk and install windows on that. Boot up time will be a lot slower though, as it needs to read those 12GB from a non-volatile memory.

>>58339376
>>58339409
it'll probably be cheaper to get 64gb ddr4 kits, or even128gb, and simply make a ram disk.

>>58339358
It's an SSD claimed to be as fast as DDR2
Unfortunately, in the few years that Xpoint/optane has been shilled, Samsung released the 960 pro which is just about as fast as Intel originally promised optane would be

>>58339493
DDR 3? No
DDR 2? That's what Intel is saying

>>58344933
Would this hookup through the PCIe lanes?

>>58340036
A 960 pro has about double the random performance of normal SATA SSDs
Not like NVME/SATA makes one shit worth of difference for SSD performance before the saturation

>>58344971
Yes, as Z270 specifically comes with extra PCIe lanes "specifically for optane support"
Nobody knows what that means other than its PCIe-based. Is it locked down to z270?

This, they waited too long and lost the speed game.
Now they have a product that's just marginally faster and most likely 8x more expensive than the Samsung monsters.

>>58339498
was going to ask what the endurace is, but at just 3x, its useless as a cache drive

>>58339443
Why not just use fucking RAM then?
