Intel 3D XPoint Optane SSD DC P4800X Tested

It's me!

Even if Optane is 100x faster than SSDs, as of now, given the expense and lack of systems that can actually use it (unless for some reason, you went Kaby over Ryzen), it's current relevance in the consumer space is limited. 

 

If anything, this is really a preview of what we may see in the coming decade. And given the slow progress in cpu performance, the uptake of new platforms that can use Optane will be similarly slow. 

It's an NVME drive that will work on everything.  The platform dependency is only for the memory/hybrid cache modules.

 

...also, this should be obvious considering it's a datacenter product where X99 is all that exists.

Well C612 but we know what you mean :)

So how far off from RAM is this? and what's the theoretical max for optane?

PCper put up a great video of the article Allyn wrote up. He made a kind of relative summery graph of performances and what optane bridges. 

 

From about 19:17 for the general picture of performance since ssd's and hdd's

 

And from 21:15 for just where optane sits

 

I dont get most of what they're talking about, but this part really summaries it quite well, even to the lay-person.  

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

Would be nice to get some PCI-E drives with this tech that doesn't cost more than my entire PC. I think Intel should release flash drives based upon this technology as well. A pinky sized drive that is faster than most SSDs would be a very appealing option.

My eyes see the past…

My camera lens sees the present…

The cost wouldn't be there. Think about it. You'd have a 32GB flash drive that costs as much as a decent 128GB drive. For what thumb drives are used for, it's not worth it.

 

Also the latency of USB completely defeats the low latency benefits of Optane. Same as how if you did it over AHCI/SATA it would lose a lot of it's benefits

Jesus when it's so fast it would require a reworking of how the OS does drive requests.
