- DanielBMarkham 11y agoA version of XPoint in DIMMs will enable up to 6 TBytes main memory in a two-socket Xeon server at about half the cost of DRAM, Diane Bryant, general manager of Intel’s data center group, said in September, suggesting the servers will ship in 2017. I am eager to see a 6TB server in 2017. It would change a heckuva lot of things in the cloud. I'd argue most corporate key infrastructure -- accounting, sales, and such -- would fit into one server.
- blacksmith_tb 11y agoI read that to mean "half the price of 6TB of DRAM" which is likely to be fairly expensive, though still impressive.
