He estimated that Intel lost $2 billion on 3D XPoint in 2017 and 2018, and $1.5 billion in 2019. That’s unsurprising, however, as 3D XPoint memory production is nowhere near as mature as 3D NAND.

In a comment to Blocks & Files, analyst Jim Handly said Intel’s 3D XPoint is very unprofitable to produce. He estimated that Intel lost $2 billion on 3D XPoint in 2017 and 2018, and $1.5 billion in ...

Semiconductor manufacturers Intel and Micron are working on a new type of non-volatile computer memory that they say is up to 1000 times faster and more durable than NAND flash. 3D XPoint (pronounced ...

The new 3D Xpoint memory architecture is designed to address critical shortcomings of both NAND flash and DDR4. Let's talk about how this new memory could address concerns in both markets.

Selling the business would have made no sense, since the underlying technology was essentially dead. If Gelsinger has his way, 3D XPoint will mark Intel's last foray into the memory chip markets.

These layers can be stacked on top of each other to produce storage devices that are 10 times denser than conventional SSDs or RAM, and yet allow every memory cell to be accessed individually. 3D ...

Going at it alone means more money spent Manufacturing memory chips -- whether they're NAND flash, DRAM, or 3D XPoint -- is something that's highly research-and-development-intensive.

Intel and Micron said that they will keep jointly manufacturing 3D XPoint memory technology at the Intel-Micron Flash Technologies (IMFT) factory in Lehi, Utah.

Hybrid memory cube, Optane (aka 3D XPoint) and the Crystal Well SDRAM that Intel mounts on its highest-end integrated GPU solutions are all products of the same joint agreement between the two ...
