Re:Intel's roadmap for Optane SSDs with 1,000x performance by wmf on Monday June 13, 2016 @03:58PM (#11897003)
I wonder if they are aggressively segmenting the market...

Intel always does this and Optane won't be any exception.

The "1,000x" claims are either at the chip level (e.g. NAND block erase vs. XPoint word write) or maybe some access pattern that is worst-case for flash. It's physically impossible to get 1,000x improvement on common access patterns.

It is latency.
