In other words, it can be used both as system memory as well as nonvolatile storage.
3D XPoint can also be used to replace both a computers RAM and its solid-state drive (SSD).
The new technology does not use transistors and it is not electron-based storage.
This new class of non-volatile memory achieves this goal and brings game-changing performance to memory and storage solutions.
In addition, any applications that require low-latency storage will also derive advantage from 3D XPoint.
3D XPoint technology, which is now in production will be sampled later this year with selected customers.
Both of them have not decided on licensing the technology.
