Intel has just announced its new line of Optane memory and SSDs for home environments and data centers.
Intel is loaded with news for the 2021, from new Optane memories to SSDs intended for regular consumers and high-performance data centers. Starting with the memories, the Intel Optane Memory H 20 are mainly intended for ultrabooks and make use of QLC cells ( Quad Level Cell) with 3D NAND memories, although Intel has not detailed anything about their characteristics.

There are many SSDs announced today by the company. The Intel Optane SSD P 5800 X is, according to Intel, the world’s fastest SSD for data centers . For this it makes use of the PCIe 4.0 bus and they estimate that it is three times faster than the previous one, the P 4800 X, which would place it at more than 7000 MBps read and 6000 MBps in writing (multiplying by three the data of the previous one, since the new Intel does not you have specified nothing).

Intel arrives loaded with news in terms of Optane memories and SSDs for the 2021
In the face of regular consumers, in the home environment we find the new Intel SSDs 670 p with 144 layers of QLC 3D NAND memories, the Intel D7-P 5510 which is the world’s first SSD of 144 layers with TLC cells and the Intel D5-P 5316 intended for more hostile environments with 144 QLC layers, such as 553 p. Recall that SK Hynix already has 176 layers under its 4D NAND technology.

On the other hand, Intel has also announced the persistent memory Optane of third generation . In this case the company has redesigned the hierarchy of the computer memory so that the RAM offers performance tasks while the Optane serves as capacity. Thus superior performance is expected and, as in previous Optane memories, very fast and non-volatile memory.

With 15 years I started to overclock my PC to get every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while I was constantly posting about hardware in the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They were probably so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
