Optane Future and Implications for Emerging Memory

 


UPDATED: Optane persistent memory has been in mass production for years now and provides large memory pools and persistent memory for many applications. In many aspects, it is exactly what we wanted from emerging memories when they were just a goal 10+ years ago.





UPDATED:

The memory is faster than NAND and cheaper than DRAM

High density

Non-volatile

Intel has multiple products and is heavily marketing it.

It sells more bits than all other emerging memories combined

Its could be defined as "wildly successful"

But Intel officially CANCELLED it after months or rumors. The world most successful Emerging memory failed. 

It did not Fail due to lack of money, lack of ecosystem, lack of support, or technical issues. It died because the market does not support advanced new memory tier. Less than 5% of servers planned to use the PMEM. 

If the world most successful emerging memory, with 100s of millions of dollars in sales and billions in investment is killed despite meeting goals, what does this mean for other emerging memories and future technologies. We will discuss at FMS 2022

    • OMEM-202-2, MRAM/PCM session 
    • Wednesday, August 3 4:45pm - 5:50pm 
Please call or text to discuss Optane and other Emerging Memories in detail in a 1:1 Sessions
