Computer storage has been stuck in an innovation rut over the last two decades. While consumer drives have improved immensely, the fundamentals they're based on haven't changed. Computers use DRAM for ...

3D Xpoint (pronounced "crosspoint") is designed in a 3D structure, like some of the cutting-edge 3D NAND we've discussed. Unlike NAND, however, 3D Xpoint doesn't use an electrical charge to store data ...

The FINANCIAL — On November 13, Intel and Micron announced the completion of an expansion to Building 60 (B60) at the IM Flash facilities in Lehi, Utah. The expanded fab will produce 3D XPoint memory ...

Micron has announced that it will buy Intel's stake in IM Flash Technologies, a joint venture between the two companies that's been responsible for a number of high-profile technologies from both ...

Intel will begin shipping its next-generation non-volatile Optane memory for PCs beginning April 24. Intel, which developed the Optane memory with its partner Micron under the name “3D Xpoint,” said ...

In its Q2'2022 earnings release, Intel has indicated that it will shutter the entire Optane memory business, which signals the end of the development of the promising 3D XPoint technology. Intel has ...

Intel and Micron ran a joint development and production program for the Phase Change Memory know as 3D XPoint. This semiconductor non-volatile memory product is faster and more durable than NAND flash ...

If the performance is indeed 1000x that of NAND, does that not imply it's faster than DRAM as well? I foresee some really nice virtualisation servers loaded to the gills with memory, since the density ...

Today 3D XPoint memory, called a ‘a new class of memory’ by Intel, reaches the market in the form of an SSD. The first product is a 375GB SSD. In Q2 a 750GB SSD is planned and a 1.5TB SSD is scheduled ...
