Intel Cancelling all Optane storage solutions for end users, this is bad
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Intel announced that it is discontinuing all of its Optane SSDs for the consumer market. What's more, the company said it will not be replaced by new consumer solutions using only Optane memory.

    Intel has discontinued the Optane Memory M10, 800P, 900P and 905P, which represent the entire family of desktop SSDs using only Optane memory. The company noted, “Intel will not ship the new high-capacity Optane Memory SSDs as a product to the customer market segment. We will focus on the new Optane Memory H20 drives in this segment. ”

    Intel Optane Memory for the consumer market is one of the fastest SSDs, outperforming competing NAND-based SSDs in many ways, but not in cost and capacity. But often not the best win, but rather good, but more affordable products. This is exactly what SSDs have become, built on flash memory with three or even four-level cells.

    Operating cost and high price with low selling compared to NAND. They will keep this for it future products but only for them. Like if Mac would developed this they only used them for their products. Sell it at higher price form servers on high end products. Smart move if you own the tech. It has no competition in their segment.

    Problem is not the cost. Intel and Micron specially kept it this way.

    If they showed real cost and started to make stacked 3D optane memory it could be the end of Samsung and many other huge memory makers. But Intel owners are same as ones of Samsung, so they want to keep profits going, even at the hundreds of billions of losses of everything else,

    Nature of capitalism is cunning.
