Re:Intel's roadmap for Optane SSDs with 1,000x performance by gumby on Monday June 13, 2016 @10:43PM (#11899417)
No discussion of power in the fluffy article; perhaps there was some in the youtube preso but it's impossible to search or skim that. This would definitely be a game changer if they can really ship it that quickly. It's funny that a SVP talked about notebooks rather than phones or servers, where this could possibly be more effective. That shows where Intel's head is, unfortunately.

I wonder how it compares to the memristor, which also has a sub 90 ns switching time and pretty low power. Optane blows that out of the water, if it's not vaporware.

SSDs consume too much power for phones. That shows that intel doesn't believe in the $15 revenue per phone hype. Unless you are the manufacturer of the entire phone you won't see a worthwile amount of money coming your way.

Modern phones have very fast ssd's. Eg the iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6 have desktop class storage. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-i...
