But what exactly is Optane, and what is it good for? (Analytics and AI, to name two major use cases.) If you’re not feeling up to speed, don’t worry. We’ll have you covered on all the basics in the ...

Ever since computers replaced magnetic cores with silicon chips, semiconductor researchers and system architects have been searching for the holy grail of memory technologies -- one that combines the ...

When Intel introduced its Optane memory solution, it was deemed the future of computing. "For the first time ever, we'll be able to equip computers with memory that's faster than NAND and more dense ...

A Redditor has caused a stir by coaxing a workstation build using Optane PMem DIMMs as RAM to run a 1-trillion-parameter LLM. APFrisco explains in a mini tutorial/guide on the Local LLaMA subreddit ...

The semiconductor industry has been teasing us for years with the concept of storage class memory, or SCM. This magical new material will be faster than flash, cheaper than DRAM and persistent without ...
