It's weird that the article doesn't mention the actual, average latency of this device, after writing that Intel has promised a 1000x improvement in this area. It mentions that latency is below 100 microseconds 99.999% of the time, but that's not more than 100x faster than a rotational HDD, albeit with less variance.
