Optane is a brand-new storage technology that Intel strongly promotes. It has a unified hard disk and memory posture. Products are gradually being enriched and gradually approaching ordinary users.
So far, Ao Teng product line already has Data Center-Oriented SSD DC P4800X (U.2/PCI-E style) for high-end enthusiast SSD 900P (PCI-E), suitable for cache acceleration SSD 800P (M.2), but are far from the mainstream players.
The P4800X and 900P are not expensive, nor are they of the M.2 style, because their main control chips are relatively large, and the M.2 specification cannot accommodate them. 800P uses M.2, but it can only be used for cache acceleration. The main system disk, capacity, performance is too low.
Well now, at this week's OCPS open computing project summit, Intel took out an enterprise-class SSD based on Ao Teng technology.DC P4801X ', using M.2 specifications, capacity and performance are also quite attractive.
Its main control is the same as the P4800X, 900P seven-channel architecture, but the smaller, of course, subject to the power and heat of the M.2 hard drive, performance will be lower.
The capacity is currently displayed at 375GB, which is just the starting capacity for the P4800X, but only seven four-diem packaged pellets are used, and the same capacity P4800X uses as many as 28 monodie encapsulated amount particles.
This is obviously due to the maturity of 3DX Point storage technology, and the unit storage density is rapidly increasing.
In addition, several capacitors can be seen on the disk, so it is likely to support advanced features such as power-off protection, after all, is an enterprise-class product.
The specific performance, power consumption, technical characteristics and other indicators have not yet been disclosed, but obviously will not be low.
Although the DC P4801X is aimed at enterprise-class products, it focuses on the data center market, but it can be seen that Intel Ao Teng technology has become more and more mature, it is getting closer and closer to mainstream users, SSD market will also open a new page.
