AMA Intel Optane AMA - Starts Tuesday at 12pm

Is the PCIe Optane (e.g. 905p) a SSD or can you use the PCIe Optane as a cache for HDD?

 

[Team Intel Optane]

I'm using 900P now and I'm super happy with it.
I have two questions:

Will Optane DC Persistence Memory come to client side in near future?
As far as I know the Intel 900P/905P is using a FPGA as its controller. Will it receive any firmware update to let them bypass the i/o stack of the operating system and be used as in place execution memory?

Glad you're enjoying the awesome performance of the Intel Optane SSD 900P! Regarding your questions: We don't comment on future products--but our roadmap will continue to deliver innovation.

Yes to both those questions! We've seen awesome improvements when users accelerate their systems with an Intel Optane SSD. For more info, check out our Intel Optane page.
