Intel 3D XPoint Optane DC P4800X NVMe SSD Leaks - its 375 GB

Intel is hard at work with Optane tachnology. We reported about it quite a bit the past year, but then stumbled into somewhat dim performance results (compared to NVMe) as well as very low capacities. 



A new slide presentation leaked indicating that the first Optane DC P4800X SSDs will get a capacity of 375 GB with 2400 MB/s reads, and up to 2000 MB/s writes.

Intel does mention that endurance should be better then traditional NAND, up-to 20 times better. But that's a claim that is easy to make of course. Intel will be targeting several channels with this product range, including enterprise. The leaked technical slides show a data-center targeted Optane DC P4800X SSD were leaked to the web.

The DC P4800X SSD (codename Cold Stream) will be a low-profile PCI-Express add-on card (AIC) form-factor tied to a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 slot. This unit will offer sequential 2400 MB/s reads and up-to 2000 MB/s writes. This Optane DC P4800X 375 GB AIC SSD would offer over 20 times the endurance of comparable enterprise SSDsThey claim 30 full SSD writes per day (DWPD) with over 12 petabytes (that's 12,000 TB) total bytes written (TBW), which is an incredible number of course. The unit would do 550,000 IOPS 4K random reads, and up to 500,000 IOPS 4K random.
