Micron and Intel jointly developed 3D XPoint, pitching it as being 1,000 faster and 1,000 more durable than traditional NAND flash memory, as well as 10 times denser.

Let’s look at some of the gifts of 3D XPoint (Optane). Micron and Intel introduced 3D XPoint memory (a form of Phase Change Memory) just before and during the 2015 Flash Memory Summit.

Intel launched its Optane product family in 2017 built around a new type of memory technology, 3D XPoint, co-developed with Micron. 3D XPoint is non-volatile like NAND, meaning it retains data ...

Intel and Micron joined forces in 2015 to launch a new type of memory, the so-called 3D XPoint memory. In 2018 the two companies decided to discontinue the joint venture. But with the current ...

Intel launched its Optane product family in 2017 built around a new type of memory technology, 3D XPoint, co-developed with Micron. 3D XPoint is non-volatile like NAND, meaning it retains data ...

While Micron started selling 3D XPoint-based products in 2019 under the QuantX brand, Intel has been using the technology for a wide range of products it marketed under the Optane brand.

Intel doesn't make DRAM, nor has it publicly signaled an intent to do so anytime soon, but it hopes to capture data center DRAM share by selling memory modules based on its 3D XPoint non-volatile ...

Intel hasn’t announced new Optane memory products for over a year and hasn’t created significant new 3D XPoint production since the Micron owned Lehi facility was shut down in 2021. This once ...

The other issue with 3D XPoint is that NAND flash just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, and the rate of change for Optane SSD costs is not keeping up. As far as Sadana is concerned, persistent ...

With the Optane Memory H20, Intel said it has upgraded the 3D XPoint Media, and has moved to the same newer 144 layer QLC NAND.
