Intel's argent storage products have covered the SSD field, which includes providing small capacity for system/mechanical hard disk acceleration, as well as large capacity for full use of main storage.
However, in the ARK database, there are also ATX memory, mainly including the 16GB/32GB version, but using the M.2 interface, not our common memory strip form.
In fact, at the beginning of Intel and Micron's R&D, called 3D Xpoint storage products, it was said that DIMM memory will also share this memory chip in the future and be made non-volatile.
In the Intel storage event that ended today, Officially released Ao Tang DDR4 memory.
The memory module code name Apache Pass, the final product name Optane DC Persistent Memory (provisional translation: Ao Teng data center dedicated non-volatile memory), this is not only with the Aoyu SSD DC, but also does not conflict with the existing Optane memory, but this Also determined its high-level positioning for the data center.
Due to the 3D Xpoint chip, So a single capacity start is 128GB, there are 256GB and 512GB.
Intel said that Aoteng DC Persistent Memory has been sampled and will be delivered to some key customers by the end of the year..
In order to allow customers, developers and other parties to come into contact this morning, Intel has built a platform with 192GB of memory, 1TB of Aoten DC memory and mounted on SATA/NVMe SSD for remote access. It is expected to open in June.
Unfortunately, data about the bandwidth, operating frequency, and voltage of Ao Teng Memory has not yet been released.
An example published by Intel is that Aerospike NoSQL database, in the traditional SSD + memory environment, restart takes a few minutes, and after switching to Aoten DC non-volatile memory, you can get a few seconds.
In the 512GB module previewed at the conference, there was thermal armor covering the flash memory. It was guessed that there were 10 pieces of 64GB structure, that is, the original capacity was 640GB. The unusable part was used for ECC check. It was very generous.
It is reported that Ao Tang DC DDR4 memory module will be compatible with Xeon scalable processor, cash may be partially supported, the next generation of Cascade Lake architecture Xeon is expected to be the perfect support.
