dual channel ddr3-1866 is 14900MB/s, only a little faster.

  Ram still has 3-4 orders of magnitude faster access time.

    the fl6 low latency high endurance drive they mentioned here tries to shave off most of an order of magnitude off the access time.

  Yeah but RAM has next to no wear while SSDs have quite a lot of it.
  • rektide 5y ago
    the fl6 low latency high endurance drive they mentioned here has 60drive writes per day (DWPD), which is not too shabby.
    • rasz 5y ago
      So a cutting edge SLC has ~60K write cycles now. Good to know.
      • rektide 5y ago
        Maybe if we're lucky it has a 5year/100K write cycle expected life? ;)

  Presumably many if not most systems with PCIe5 will also have DDR5 though, so thats an odd comparison.

    you seem under the impression i was implying flash will replace ram? im not. i was providing a baseline of similar comparison. i expect the reader can divide whatever flavor of ram they have or might someday have (say, dd45-4800) by this baseline 1866, and see oh, it'd take 2.5x drives to have flash storage that has about equal throughput to bleeding edge next gen dual channel memory.
