Intel Announces 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cooper Lake), New Optane Memory, PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and More

so Optane found a place in the server side of things? i though Optane was dead by now.

 

Shame is that these new Xeaons does not support PCIe 4.0..
And also feature support of models is strange, it is almost imposible to get some reasonable combination and only a few procesors supports these DL features:

 

Optane is a great technology. It has hugely better endurance and I/O speed than NAND flash. I plan to get a 905P for my future build (zen3?). No reason why it should be killed off.

 

Optane was enterprise centric from the start. Does nobody here understand the enterprise market?

 

If it can't play Crysis, probably not.

 

For my purposes, I am far more likely to choose systems with dual EPYCs and as many cores as we need/want. The 7F52 looks like a great unit with of 256MB of L3 cache.

 

if it suits your needs it is cool, to say the true i fail to see the difference, generally i just see the price vs nand, i didn't knew that you could use the benefits from Optane on AMD systems, i should read a little more about it.

 

it needs to exist and develop further because its the future of Solid state storage.
