we was pondering what would need all that data bandwidth for the new PCIe-6 specs.
Having too much bandwidth or capacity is a problem in IT that often solves itself more often than not.
- Melatonic 5y agoThe real problem though is latency - RAM is extremely low latency and that is one of its primary benefits. I can't say for sure what this new tech has but reading about Intel Optane (which is already much lower latency than normal SSD) it seems to have a latency of approximately 1-10us. DDR4 is something like 50ns. Pretty large disparity (my numbers could be off - this was just after some quick searches)
- Der_Einzige 5y agoCheck out "Intel Optane DC". You might like what you find, but to my knowledge it's only targeted at data centers.
