Intel Optane Memory: How to make revolutionary technology totally boring One day 3D XPoint could change the world. But not like this it won't.

The initial Optane 3D XPoint card comes with 375 GB of capacity and costs $1,520 at list price, plus another $431 on top of that if you want to pool the Optane memory with the DDR4 memory in a system ...

Intel uses Optane Memory either as storage, or as a cheap way to make mainstream PCs feel faster even if they’re still using slow (but economical!) spinning-platter hard drives.

Then comes the Optane layer, which is really two layers, depending on the form factor. SSDs based on Optane, using the fast NVMe channel, exceed what NAND-based SSDs can do.

Now that Optane Persistent Memory Modules, based on bit-addressable 3D XPoint memory, are finally available from Intel, everybody in the storage business is trying to figure out how to best make use ...

Intel's Kristie Mann talks to CRN about how the chipmaker is making it easier for partners to sell Optane Persistent Memory.

Optane loads PC games faster, but which ones? To figure out whether Optane memory modules actually work, we’ve run loading tests on an Intel Optane-equipped machine provided by Intel on two top ...

A number of users are reporting issues with Intel Optane Memory after installing May 2020 Update. Now, Intel has published a support document to help users troubleshoot the memory pinning issue.

I tested how optane caching can affect NVME drives on the Ryzen platform. Interesting, but the price of Optane is going to have to halve before it ends-up on one of my parts lists. All prices 1 ...

The main change with Optane Memory is the move from older SATA-based connectivity to a much faster M.2 x4 PCIe connection, plus the use of 3D XPoint in place of NAND.

Baidu said it was looking at using Optane elsewhere in its business, such as in cases of power failure where services need to be reloaded from drives and can take up to 10 minutes to be restored.

Intel's Optane memory targeted multiple use cases. In PCs, Optane-based SSDs could be used in place of standard SSDs, providing improved read and write performance.
