I have little idea of how 3D XPoint works but if it is that fast and non-volatile what prevents it from replacing RAM+Disk? Cost I presume or are there other reasons?
- 6nf 10y agoDRAM is still significantly faster than 3D XPoint.

- theandrewbailey 10y agoThis isn't necessarily holding 3DXpoint back, but one place where RAM is more useful is security. You don't want TLS encryption keys on a non-volatile medium. Who knew that RAM's quickly lose contents when off property would turn out to be a feature?
