Intel Optane is fast becoming the talk of the town. https://intel.ly/2INDAgo The more I read about it the more I like it.
From the outset, we will need at least a seventh generation Intel processor, a base bale with Z270 chipset with BIOS prepared for Optane and an M.2 port to work.
Gamers get set for some fast action as Intel Optane is said to be optimised for fast application loading, RAID, and faster boot times.
So what is Optane Memory?
Optane is Intel’s new hyper-fast memory modules. It is a specialized M.2 card, compatible only with supported motherboards that can use Intel 7th-gen Core processors (i3, i5, and i7 chips in the 7XXX series).
Experience a speedier, smoother, and awesomely responsive computing.
Intel® Optane™ memory, a smart, adaptable system accelerator - now for 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processor laptops and desktops.
Intel Optane memory uses 3D NAND fabrication techniques and various proprietary technologies to achieve super-low latency—as fast as 10 microseconds.
Intel Optane Memory Series 32 GB
The memory chips of an Optane disk have been built with 3D Xpoint technology, or what is the same, by layering layers, which makes the disk scalable in the future.
If I connect an Optane disk to an M.2 connector that I have (as a minimum, it must have a PCIe Gen 3.0 x2 interface, better if it is x4), thanks to Intel Rapid Storage (software that I installed with the Intel boards), I can match Optane with my main disk (either SSD or mechanical) and tasks will be accelerated. This is similar to the cache discs that I saw a few years back, but this time it comes from Intel, in an M.2 format, with Xpoint 3D memories and with a lot of future projection.
The Optane that I have is 32 GB M.2 with PCIe interface that will serve as a system cache, but I know that Optane will be a whole family of products, such as RAM. Intel Optane Memory Series 32 GB.
The unit received, 32 GB would therefore be responsible for accelerating the heavier processes, and is a cross product, since it can be used both for the general market as well as for the enthusiast or the business, obtaining good results, and what It is important: increasing system performance.
It seems that in this sense Intel pulled back a little, since the cache disks were the first alternatives that the manufacturers took in their day to offer an intermediate product between the mechanical disk of a lifetime and the prohibitive, at that time, price of SSDs.
But bear in mind that Optane comes in M.2 form and, as I have anticipated, has a very promising future.
