Yeah, that's a contradiction in the title right there as you would not expect longer lifespan with QLC based NAND. Intel launches its 665p, the successor of the SSD 660p which uses a new generation of QLC nand based on more layers.A 1TB model will be introduced, a 2TB will follow and 512 GB is even released. 



Intel will be making use of 96-layer 3d QLC nand, 64-layer was used in the previous generation. Intel rates the lifespan to be increased from 200 TBW to 300 TBW. The same Silicon Motion SM2263 nvme controller is being used combined with a small dram cache and slc cache. The 1 TB model offers up to 2000 MB/s sequential reads and 1925 MB/s sequential writes, up to 160,000 IOPS random reads, and up to 200,000 IOPS random writes. 

Prices are TBA, but expected to hover at a 125 USD range for the 1 TB version.
