One day, if Intel and Micron’s new 3D XPoint memory plays out the way I expect it to, you’ll never have to wait for another game or app to launch ever again, because they’ll always be “loaded.” That ...

Intel and Micron have unveiled what appears to be the holy grail of memory. Called 3D XPoint (pronounced “cross point”), this is an entirely new type of non-volatile memory, with roughly 1,000 times ...

Computer storage has been stuck in an innovation rut over the last two decades. While consumer drives have improved immensely, the fundamentals they're based on haven't changed. Computers use DRAM for ...

Former CNET editor Dong Ngo has been involved with technology since 2000, starting with testing gadgets and writing code for CNET Labs' benchmarks. He managed CNET's San Francisco Labs, reviews 3D ...

Intel and Micron jointly announced a brand new memory technology today, dubbed 3D XPoint (Cross Point) memory. 3D XPoint is fundamentally a new class of memory, the first to be introduced in many ...

3D XPoint does away with the need to use the transistors at the heart of Nand chips. Nand works by moving electrons back and forth to an isolated part of the transistors known as their "floating gates ...
