Intel announced the first new-generation SSD based on its 3D XPoint technology
Intel has communicated the availability of the first product of the new generation of SSDs based on its 3D XPoint technology announced about two years ago and developed with Micron. The Optane SSD DC P4800X has a capacity of 375 GB and promises much higher performances than SSDs based on NAND flash technology, so much that it can even be used as RAM. All this at a very high price because the product has been announced for sale at $1,520.
