No, optane is intels name for 3dxpoint, a new type of non volatile memory.Isn't Optane Memory just a rehash of the Intel Turbo Memory cards that was supposed to be the great new speed-up feature of Windows Vista when running on crappy hardware?
The p4800x can do ~ 95k iops @ 4k random write & qd1 and up to 550k iops @ 4k random read/write & qd16 (that's about 2 gbyte/s for random io!). It's the best cache device on the market.Not sure why you guys are getting excited about these?
Again I question the purpose of a cache memory in this day and age. Why not just get more DDR and RAM disk it? It's not like RAM costs $900 for 16MB like it did in 1996. That hurt my wallet!No, optane is intels name for 3dxpoint, a new type of non volatile memory.

Tom, you are way off here. Optane is a NVMe/PCIe storage device just like any SSD out there, but faster and with lower latency. It can be the main disk or whatever else one can do with a very fast NVMe/PCIe storage device (including - but not limited to - caching).Again I question the purpose of a cache memory in this day and age.
