Intel's next-gen hyperfast Optane SSDs for PCs to ship in April
Intel will begin shipping its next-generation non-volatile Optane memory for PCs beginning April 24.
Intel, which developed the Optane memory with its partner Micron under the name "3D Xpoint," said the new storage will allow PCs to boot twice as fast and increase internal storage performance by 14 times.
Additionally, Intel claims the mass storage devices will launch applications faster. For example, Microsoft Outlook will launch up to 5.8 times faster; games will launch up to 67% faster; and files stored in memory can be located up to four times faster.
