Intel, Micron unveil memory chip 1,000 times faster than Flash

Chipmakers Intel and Micron said Tuesday they've created a hyperfast memory chip, up to 1,000 times faster than standard NAND Flash memory.

Intel and Micron say they've been working more than a decade on their new, "3D XPoint" chip, which is based on a new, three-dimensional structure and a different set of materials than standard memory chips.

The new chip doesn't use transistors, which are the standard on/off switches in microprocessors and nearly every other category of computer chip.

Sounds like superfast SSD material. So fast, in fact, that it belongs on the PCI bus rather than the SATA connection

Look for SSD's to transition rapidly away from the SATA bus over the next few years.
