Intel Corp.'s Optane 900P SSD Might Be a Sleeper Hit
For several years, chipmaker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has talked about 3D Xpoint, a new memory technology that it helped develop. 3D XPoint promises substantial performance enhancements over traditional NAND flash memory, which should make it suitable for customers looking for extremely fast storage drives.
Intel's memory business is centered first and foremost around its data center ambitions. Most of the NAND flash-based solid-state drives that it sells go into data centers, and it's highly likely that the same will hold true for drives based on its 3D XPoint technology.
