Intel, Micron unveil memory chip 1,000 times faster than Flash

Chipmakers Intel and Micron said Tuesday they've created a hyperfast memory chip, up to 1,000 times faster than standard NAND Flash memory.

Intel and Micron say they've been working more than a decade on their new, "3D XPoint" chip, which is based on a new, three-dimensional structure and a different set of materials than standard memory chips.

The new chip doesn't use transistors, which are the standard on/off switches in microprocessors and nearly every other category of computer chip.

So, does it have centuries of unpowered data storage capabilities?

I’m looking for a chip that outperforms paper and parchment.

Get the plans? How about how long before the Chinese are granted a contract to build the chips?

2000 years from now it will be used as archeological jewlery by the illiterate, after apocolypse culture.

Sounds like superfast SSD material. So fast, in fact, that it belongs on the PCI bus rather than the SATA connection.

Its been years since I’ve been in the IC biz. I wonder what the line widths are they’re talking about with this technology.
