One day, if Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory plays out the way I expect it to, you’ll never have to wait for another game or app to launch ever again, because they’ll always be “loaded.” That ...

Intel and Micron have unveiled what appears to be the holy grail of memory. Called 3D XPoint (pronounced “cross point”), this is an entirely new type of non-volatile memory, with roughly 1,000 times ...

It was clear from the beginning that Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory—which promises “1,000 times” the performance of today’s SSDs—would require a faster pathway into the PC. After all, SATA, ...

Intel's interesting new memory technology will finally come to market next year. According to Intel CEO Brian Krzanich on the company's most recent earnings call, the company plans to "ship thousands ...

Computer storage has been stuck in an innovation rut over the last two decades. While consumer drives have improved immensely, the fundamentals they're based on haven't changed. Computers use DRAM for ...

3D XPoint does away with the need to use the transistors at the heart of Nand chips. Nand works by moving electrons back and forth to an isolated part of the transistors known as their "floating gates ...

On May 21, Micron had their annual analyst and investor conference. Micron is firing on all cylinders. The conference has reinvigorated interest in the stock. Unfortunately, while many expected more ...

I attended the 7th Annual Non-Volatile Memories Workshop 2016 at UC San Diego this month. Frank T. Hady, Intel Fellow and Chief Architect of 3D XPoint Storage, gave a keynote address to a room full of ...

(3D Cross Point) An earlier non-volatile memory and storage technology from Intel. Using phase change technology, 3D XPoint was available from 2017 to 2022. Less expensive and denser than dynamic RAM ...

Intel and Micron this week unveiled a new type of memory they plan to mass produce that is purportedly 1,000 times faster than NAND flash and has 1,000 times the endurance. One thousand times the ...

Like most other semiconductor firms, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) has incurred a rather interesting 14-month period. In the first half of 2018, MU stock got off to a blistering start, gaining over 26 ...
