The first servers for SSD serial production of Intel on 3D XPoint memory were server drives of the SSD Optane DC P4800X series with a capacity of 375 GB and consumer cache-accelerators with a capacity of 16 and 32 GB in the form factor M.2. True 3D XPoint memory for client systems is expected to be a series of Intel Optane 900P models, as reported by the Chinese site BenchLife.info. The Optane 900P series expects models with a capacity of 280, 480, 960 and 1500 GB.
According to the characteristics Optane 900P model similar to the model Optane DC P4800X. Only the model line is different, and the server models will come out as 375-, 750- and 1500-GB models, and the Optane 900P series will have slightly more stable data transfer speed in read mode: 2500 MB / s instead of 2,400 MB / s Models of the Optane DC P4800X series. The remaining characteristics are identical, including consumption level (18 W) and IOPS values: 550 thousand and 500 thousand for reading
/ writing random blocks. The steady speed of recording, we add, reaches 2000 MB / s.
There is no clear information on the timeframe for new products to enter the market. Considering some memory shortage in 3D XPoint, the launch of the Optane 900P series may be postponed to a later date. Also promises to be a very high price of drives, which stand out at their record speeds in terms of reducing delays in reading and writing, as well as in terms of increasing resistance to wear. Finally, Optane drives work only with the latest generation of Core i7 processors and with the Intel
200 series logic chipset, which also imposes restrictions on the circle of users interested in the novelty. Related Products :
