is this pci-e v3 or v4 card?
i hope v4

Hope they release these soon so we mere mortal can buy cheap p4800x and 905p drives

if it was PCIe v4, it hadn't need to be x16, only x8 would be more than sufficient, but I agree. v4 would be nice to see

You and me both buddy

Added an update just after this went live. PCIe Gen3 x16.

Rumor was it is 2nd gen 3D XPoint.

Any rumor or details about if it’s one logical drive or some internal raid?

Micron Technology (MU) Discusses Acquisition of Intel's Interest in IM Flash Technologies LLC Broker Conference Call (Transcript)

When micron acquired Intel's part of the company, they said they would be going straight to 2nd gen xpoint.

Good to see a new memory tech finally getting faster, but normal NAND flash devices have been capable of these speeds for ages.

Note, I said capable... no one really made a full x16 pci-e gen3 card that I'm aware of. Most were x4 or x8, which definitely limited speeds.

I wonder what the power consumption is on this card at peak write workloads...

besides sheer bandwidth, 3D xpoint aka Optanate is on whole another level as far as latency goes.

Understood. I come from a world of selling and building solutions around microsecond latency flash storage.

I'll be interested to see what the latencies are from this card with a few different benchmarks on it.
