cmgoodin Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 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.

Lets hope so, because at present, in some cases, it virtually makes nonsense what is supposed to be universal media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
