One day, if Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory plays out the way I expect it to, you’ll never have to wait for another game or app to launch ever again, because they’ll always be “loaded.” That ...

It was clear from the beginning that Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory—which promises “1,000 times” the performance of today’s SSDs—would require a faster pathway into the PC. After all, SATA, ...

3D XPoint does away with the need to use the transistors at the heart of Nand chips. Nand works by moving electrons back and forth to an isolated part of the transistors known as their "floating gates ...

Intel and Micron jointly announced a brand new memory technology today, dubbed 3D XPoint (Cross Point) memory. 3D XPoint is fundamentally a new class of memory, the first to be introduced in many ...

Intel and Micron have unveiled what appears to be the holy grail of memory. Called 3D XPoint (pronounced “cross point”), this is an entirely new type of non-volatile memory, with roughly 1,000 times ...

Intel and Micron this week unveiled a new type of memory they plan to mass produce that is purportedly 1,000 times faster than NAND flash and has 1,000 times the endurance. One thousand times the ...

Computer storage has been stuck in an innovation rut over the last two decades. While consumer drives have improved immensely, the fundamentals they're based on haven't changed. Computers use DRAM for ...

I attended the 7th Annual Non-Volatile Memories Workshop 2016 at UC San Diego this month. Frank T. Hady, Intel Fellow and Chief Architect of 3D XPoint Storage, gave a keynote address to a room full of ...

Intel and Micron have announced a new type of memory technology called 3D XPoint that they say could offer speeds up to 1,000 times faster than NAND flash storage. 3D XPoint technology samples will be ...

Like most other semiconductor firms, Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has incurred a rather interesting 14-month period. In the first half of 2018, MU stock got off to a blistering start, gaining over ...

According to Intel CEO Brian Krzanich on the company's most recent earnings call, the company plans to "ship thousands of [3D XPoint] samples to customers" as the current quarter progresses. He also ...
