Hi Jim,
Great post, and permit me to reply with the following:
(Excerpt):
"For 3D XPoint, it has to be said that this is a bad year for it, although Intel continues to deny that it is a variant of Phase Change Memory (PCM), and results in performance data lubrication, but is still far behind Earlier claimed to be 1,000 times faster than flash. Intel tried to escape this trap by saying that it was talking about the original media speed, but had set such high performance, density and durability that its original marketing now appears to be hysterical, rather surprisingly inaccurate or inaccurate.
For whatever reason, the XPoint NVMe drive now does not look like anything else, making rendering ReRAM or PCM drives meaningless, whereas XPoint DIMMs do not significantly outperform flash DIMM performance if they use DRAM buffers, such as flash DIMMs. We should see the actual product this year and get a better view. So far, XPoint is a marketing hype, and Intel and its partner Micron have to show that their Optane and QuantX products are actually worth hype."
(Synonymous with Intel's Omni-Path claims; completely hollow).
