Intel SSD DC P4800X so fast that it expands RAM

Intel introduced its first Optane product XPoint, the Intel SSD DC P4800X hard drive, which according to the it can perform database operations up to 10 times faster.

The first Optane (Intel SSD DC P4800X) will be available today at 375GB, and in the second half of 2017 will be released on 750GB, 1.5TB as well as U.2.Intel SSD DC P4800X

In addition to the SSD speed that the company reported to respond faster than 8 to 40 times compared to P3700 SSD DC, Intel says it can also be used to expand memory.

Combined with the Memory Drive found on Xeon chips, an Optane SSD is able to be used as a memory pool alongside DRAM without having to configure your operating system or use any .

The company even reports that, in the workload, it believes as long as the 90% of DRAM can be replaced by the Optane SSD.

With Optane's larger capacity, an Xeon dual-socket system could have 24 TB memory, and a quad-socket system will reach 48TB.
