Intel Launches Optane 375GB SSD That You Can Used As RAM

Well, if we take a look way back in 2015, then we will know about 3D Xpoint Memory which was announced by Intel and Micron. Both the companies claimed that 3D Xpoint Memory would be 1,000 times faster than the modern SSDs. Well, this new class of memory was advertised both as non-volatile as well as system memory.

That simply means that this new type of memory can replace both a PCs SSD and RAM. Well, in the year 2015 Intel claimed that 3D Xpoint Memory is the significant breakthrough in the storage field. Now, based on this superfast 3D storage tech, Intel unveiled the Optane SSD DC P4800X.
