Time to go faster...

Now the time has come to speed up things little. Intel has made a new storage chip which is 1000 time faster than flash memory. You can imagine how fast it will be.




Intel and Micron have a new way to store data that they say is denser,tougher and faster than the already existing flash drives, and it's already started production. 3D XPoint technology is the first new mainstream memory chip to come to market in 25 years. The chipmakers will send samples of the product to potential customers later this year.

The new memory is aimed at making it faster for computers to access and work with enormous amount of data created by an increasing number of devices connected to one another and the Internet. It will also help to improve data related tasks such as real-time tracking of disease and immersive realistic gaming, the company said. Existing type of memory are either too expansive or aren't fast enough for such tasks, so this development will reduce the cost and increase the speed.

"For decades, the industry has searched for ways to reduce the lag time between the processor and data to allow much faster analysis," said Intel VP Rob Crooke in a statement. "This new class of non-volatile memory archives this goal and bring game-changing performance to memory and storage solutions."
