Intel and Micron ran a joint development and production program for the Phase Change Memory know as 3D XPoint. This semiconductor non-volatile memory product is faster and more durable than NAND flash ...

Within the semiconductor industry, manufacturing memory chips may be the toughest task. Not technically tough -- manufacturing an advanced CPU or GPU is a lot more complicated than churning out DRAM ...

But what exactly is Optane, and what is it good for? (Analytics and AI, to name two major use cases.) If you’re not feeling up to speed, don’t worry. We’ll have you covered on all the basics in the ...

Optane, the memory technology pioneered and championed by Intel, has seen its last days. Intel has decided to wind down the technology as part of a refocusing effort. The news came on an earnings call ...

Intel has fully killed off its Optane Memory business, a line of memory that was slightly slower than RAM but offered persistent memory and high input/output operations per second. The company said ...

Last week Intel announced the Optane SSD DC P4800X, an insanely fast solid state drive. Sadly its price tag of almost R20 000 means that it will only probably be used for its intended purpose in data ...

A Redditor has caused a stir by coaxing a workstation build using Optane PMem DIMMs as RAM to run a 1-trillion-parameter LLM. APFrisco explains in a mini tutorial/guide on the Local LLaMA subreddit ...

When Intel introduced its Optane memory solution, it was deemed the future of computing. "For the first time ever, we'll be able to equip computers with memory that's faster than NAND and more dense ...

If you haven’t built a super-high-end workstation in a while, you might not have heard of Intel’s Optane memory caching tech. Optane also powered ultra-fast SSDs for consumers and businesses alike.

Intel is set to shut down its Optane memory business, suffering a $559 million inventory write-off in the process. Optane is a type of memory system designed to boost the performance of hard disk ...
