Intel announces their next generation Optane memory and PCI-E 4.0 enterprise SSDs. These do generally make it to consumers eventually with similar specs and speeds like with the first gen but with less endurance ratings and etc.

"The Optane PMEM 200 series DIMMs come in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities and their sequential bandwidth is up to 8.10GB/sec for reads and 3.15GB/sec for writes. The first generation series runs up to 6.8GB/sec reading and can reach 2.3GB/sec writes."

Yeah. The PC market was already gearing up for storage that beats the next-gen consoles before those consoles launched.
Optane is a pretty interesting beast though.
