Introduction In addition to this year's Intel Optane DC P4800X SSD for data centers and caching memory, Optane Memory Intel is launching a small series of SSDs for high-performance Optane 900P workstations. New SSDs based on 3D XPoint technology are intended for enthusiasts and professionals engaged in photo and video processing, game development, etc.
The Intel Optane SSD 900P is extremely fast thanks to the new 3D XPoint memory, but it's also expensive, as this latest technology is in high demand now. For more than a decade, Intel and Micron have jointly created 3D XPoint memory as a part of a closed secret project in1966. Developers still do not disclose the details of this technology, although third-party companies confirm the information that this is one of the forms of memory based on the phase transition (Phase-change memory, PCM).
Performance
To speak about the performance, the new high-speed memory is designed to fill a niche between operational …
ZOTAC ZBOX PI225 and ZOTAC ZBOX PI335 mini PCs represent a perfect combination of rather compact sizes and attractive price marks. Both devices are based on a 2-core 6 W Intel Celeron N3350 (2/2 x 1.1–2.4 GHz) processing unit of the Intel Apollo Lake series, equipped with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 graphics core. The volume of preinstalled LPDDR3 memory reaches 4 GB, and the eMMC drive capacity is 32 GB. Simultaneously one may use microSD card reader or external USB drives for expanding ROM.
