@ 2016/10/25Slower release than expected
Chipzilla appears to have put the brakes on its 3DXPoint memory modules despite talking up the technology for a while.
For those who came in late 3DXPoint is a next-generation non-volatile memory technology and is supposed to be faster than NAND flash memory while much cheaper than DRAM.
Intel had previously said that these 3DXPoint memory modules would be supported on a "future Intel Xeon processor." It had thought that Intel was referring to the Skylake-EP and this is expected in the first half of 2017.
