Intel optane 905p has already been listed in several online stores

Intel Optane technology based on Intel 3D XPoint memory is an impressive technology that promises to revolutionize computing, as it is high-speed, low-latency and persistent memory. These features make 3D XPoint even aspire to one day unify RAM and storage. Intel Optane 905P has already been listed.

Intel Optane 905P appears in Newegg

Over this weekend, American retailer Newegg has listed new Optane-based SSDs under the Intel Optane 905P series name, suggesting that these new models are refined versions of the existing 900P series. This new Intel 905P device would arrive in two versions, one of them with a 2.5-inch U.2 format, which guarantees maximum compatibility with all computers. This model has been listed with a capacity of 480 GB and a price of $ 658. Second, we have a version of the Intel 905P that is based on a PCI Express card format, and with a capacity of 960 GB for a listed price of $ 1, 602.

At the moment the novelties of the Intel Optane 905P series are not known, it is expected that they offer higher levels of performance, a new controller, greater durability or other improvements at the hardware level. From the information that is available, we can know that the power consumption of the unit in idle state has increased from 5W in the 900P to 7W, with an increase in the operating temperature range from 0-75 degrees to 0-85 degrees.

Currently, Optane's main weak point is its high price compared to NAND memory, which makes standard SSDs much more viable from a capacity-to-price ratio standpoint.
