Thanks for sharing this information. Computer storage is going to really improve and I was liking the SSD. I can't wait to see how this works for gaming applications and how the PC will evolve to accommodate this 3D XPoint storage/memory technology.

It's really exciting. Aside from the storage and memory aspects, Intel might be able to use this technology to design a new type of CPU that has fewer, or no transistors at all resulting in a smaller, faster and more power efficient processor. Furthermore, this might be the technology that brings AI to live.

When I saw the 3D XPoint technology and had a basic understating of how it works, I immediately thought of genes. 3D XPoint technology may be used to create an artificial gene that mimics the functionality of an organic gene. If that is not crazy enough, I think Intel might be able to make a "self assembling" or "growing" CPU - in essence a kind of a brain. There is already nano technology and materials that can repair or "heal" on its own. 3D XPoint maybe to used to create a "seed of instructions" for nano builders to follow much in the same way genes hold instructions for molecules to follow.

In the not so distant future, one might have to feed and water one's CPU to make it grow. You buy a CPU seed, and grow it. Intel seeds... buy yours now

Is it creepy that the guy in the first video who delivered this news looks like a priest? Intel's 10 commandments are to follow
