3Dxpoint is essentially a faster flash with all the problems of NAND cells. Its not memory-like with limited write endurance. >While Intel claims the new non-volatile storage medium will offer significant improvements in endurance, performance, and power consumption (10x lower latency, 3x write endurance, 4x more writes per second, and as little as 30% the power consumption as competing NAND flash) https://www.extremetech.com/computing/237817-first-intel-optane-hardware-could-be-coming-to-consumer-desktops https://www.extremetech.com/computing/237817-first-intel-opt... >3D XPoint memory has better endurance than NAND flash, but not enough to get away without wear levelling http://www.anandtech.com/show/11209/intel-optane-ssd-dc-p4800x-review-a-deep-dive-into-3d-xpoint-enterprise-performance http://www.anandtech.com/show/11209/intel-optane-ssd-dc-p480...
