Intel plans to make optane memory compatible with ddr5

Intel Optane DC Memory is an innovative new product that offers non-volatile DIMM storage and is compatible with DDR4 slots. This type of memory seems to be here to stay, as Intel plans to make it compatible with the future DDR5.

Intel Optane DC memories are here to stay

Going forward, Intel needs to upgrade Optane to offer its customers a higher value proposition, whether it be by offering more raw performance, providing greater capacity, or reducing the power consumption of its memory so that more chips can be packed in a single DIMM.

Intel reportedly plans to make its third generation of Optane memory DDR5-compliant, a move that would be a turning point for Intel's new memory. Intel's focus is to make Optane a substitute / alternative to conventional DRAM.

To be successful, Optane must be cheaper than DRAM, deliver enough performance to make the cost difference worthwhile, and give data center customers the ability to take advantage of the non-volatile nature of memory.

For now, Optane has become a differentiator between Intel and AMD, as exclusive support from Intel will provide the company with a critical advantage over its rival in performing specific workloads in data centers. The challenge will be to offer a cheap product with attractive features, if you want to stop AMD's escalation in that segment.
