| Teeqoz said: Considering you can get 16 GB of DRAM on a single unit, that would mean this could have 160 GB on the same size as one RAM chip. And if they sometime release this as a storage drive, who's to say it'll need DIMM connectors at all. Maybe they'll make a new, much faster counterpart to the SATA interface? Given that Moore's Law will come to an end in like 7 years, you can only extend for so long... This has more future potential than continuing to shrink normal transistors. |
Well you practically do need to have a DIMM slot to get the advertised speed and I doubt Intel will push out a new interface for consumer electronics just to make it cheaper for individuals to have that storage technology setup. I also highly doubt that a new designed alternative to SATA interface will give comparable latencies to what a DIMM slot could offer you too ...
How do you know 3D XPoint has more potential than transistors ? I'm curious but do you know the specifications behind the technology ?
