products will be available in 2016, in both standard SSD (PCIe) form factors for everything from Ultrabooks to servers, and in a DIMM form factor for Xeon systems for even greater bandwidth and lower latencies. As expected, Intel will be providing storage controllers optimized for the 3D XPoint memory
The new memory is still about five to eight times slower than DRAM. It's not as fast as DRAM, so it's not going to replace it in the most latency-valued applications
"The switching mechanism is via changes in resistance of the bulk material," was all Intel would add in response to questions sent via email.
Intel's Rob Crooke explained, 'You could put the cost somewhere between NAND and DRAM.'
~10x reduction in latency vs. NAND SSD
An Intel spokesperson categorically denied that it was a phase-change memory process or a memristor technology. Spin-transfer torque was also dismissed
