Intel's Optane DC Persistent Memory aims to duet the gap betwixt RAM as well as SSDs.
When Intel get-go talked almost 3D XPoint Technology dorsum inwards 2015, nosotros heard claims of it reaching 1000X the performance of NAND memory. The work alongside such a claim is that fifty-fifty the fastest PCIe interface can't come upward anywhere nigh that figure. Since Optane drives get-go became available, at that spot bring been rumblings that we'd come across 3D XPoint brand its agency into unopen to cast of server DIMM. That production at 1 time has a name: Optane DC Persistent Memory, which is a mouthful, as well as thence I'm going to telephone phone it Optane DC PM.
As the advert implies, Optane DC PM is for the datacenter—we're non probable to come across this inwards desktops or laptops whatever fourth dimension soon. The cast part looks the same every bit a regular DIMM, as well as each Optane DC PM module tin concur upward to 512GB. For sure enough workloads, Optane DC PM is probable to survive a far to a greater extent than cost-effective solution than adding to a greater extent than RAM and/or servers, as well as it enables upward to 3TB of 'memory' per server node. Also, Federal Reserve notation that the platform is stated every bit "future Intel Xeon scalable processors," as well as thence Optane DC PM isn't available yet.
Intel doesn't larn into total specifics of the technology, requirements, or performance, simply does Federal Reserve notation that early on results bring shown restart times larn from minutes to seconds, to a greater extent than server instances (for virtualization), a 9.4X growth inwards database operations per second, alongside 11X every bit many users.
Intel, delight post me 4 modules for testing, along alongside the requisite server hardware. I'm sure enough I'll discovery a piece of work for it!
Thanks PC GAMER
