Intel has unveiled a new tier of Optane storage -- one designed to bridge the gap between volatile and non-volatile memory and create a new class of "Persistent" memory in the process. Share on ...

Mainstream processors are Intel's bread-and-butter, but declining PC sales are putting the squeeze on the company. But Intel is turning to an old trick to get people to interested in its ...

Luke Lancaster is an Associate Editor with CNET, based out of Australia. He spends his time with games (both board and video) and comics (both reading and writing). Intel Optane memory is making a lot ...

Intel Optane memory might sound like a new standard of RAM, but it has more in common with modern storage solutions like solid state drives (SSDs). Yet it’s designed to supplant SSDs in some ways — ...

Intel's Optane Memory technology, introduced a few years back, was originally designed to speed up a PC's hard drive without adding the expense of a full-fledged solid-state drive (SSD). A combination ...

Today Intel and system builders take hybrid storage technology in a new direction. The Intel Optane Memory H10 NVMe SSD combines two popular SSD technologies, 4-bit per cell memory and Intel's ...

It may not have been noticed by many IT professionals, but recently Intel sold its Nand flash and solid-state drive (SSD) manufacturing assets to South Korean firm SK Hynix for $9bn. The interesting ...

The big deal with these two Optane-branded sticks resides in the underlying 3D XPoint technology. Intel collaborated with Micron to create NAND Flash memory with the capacity of a solid state drive ...

3D XPoint (pronounced “crosspoint,” not “ex-point”) is a promising form of non-volatile memory jointly developed by Intel and Micron. Intel claims that the memory, which it’s branding Optane for ...
