Intel & Micron Intro Superfast 3D Xpoint Memory

Recommended Posts

Intel and Micron Introduced a new form of Non-Volatile Memory architecture that is 1000 times faster than NAND Flash Ram as well as being many times more durable and long lasting.

This could revolutionize computing and long term memory storage like SSDs and Memory Cards.  And Media storage for Video and Audio Recorders could be increased in speed and access time dramatically... It is set to go into production by 2016  with samples delivered later this year.

Could it end all this quite, or some cases very, fussy "approved media" and "non approved media" on our recorders, which not only has to do with speed but also architecture of flash ram.

Lets hope so, because at present, in some cases, it virtually makes nonsense what is supposed to be universal media.

Initially this new media will NOT solve those problems --- it will have to be tested and approved just like everything else, but once qualified and approved for use in our recorders, it looks to be pretty amazing in terms of capacity, speed and stability.

Yes, since Xpoint has a different method of storing bits it can be written and read many millions of times without degrading.   So internal "Wear Leveling" routines built in to most Nand Flash Based media are not necessary.   Those routines are primarily responsible for limitations in speed or compatibility with real-time recording devices.  Also the increased Density and lower power requirements of Xpoint make it a perfect candidate for removable storage.
