So no SSD for consumers/mainstream?
U.2 has gone the way of the dodo?
Consumer get a m.2 memory acceleration thing but they stay away from calling it a SSD. So exclusive Kaby Lake ?

I am confused!

Consumer get a m.2 memory accele...calling it a SSD.[/QUOTE] Ready boost 2.0?

Those are all client drives, so it suggests PCIe NVMe 3.0 x2 and x4 designs in late this year and early next year.

So the pro 6000p should be coming out within a few months? I was interested in the 750 but such an expensive disk - when it's reaching near its product cycle end (plus the long boot times I've read about) makes me wonder what the successor to that fast drive will bring to the table.

In short - it's a bad time to buy a drive now then?

DIMMs are likely going to be very expensive.

The only confirmed ones are for Purley. Purley potentially supports 6 channels per socket, with 2 DIMMs per channel, and with max size memory of 128GB per DIMM.

1x64GB sticks go for $1200. 1x128GB DIMMs are going to go for $3000. With Optane DIMMs they claim it'll enable 4x the capacity with lower cost. 512GB Optane DIMMs were shown. 512GB at say $2000? That's extremely expensive for PCs, but for servers its very cheap.

i think if we want to see anything cheap from optane it will not be from intel , who knows what micron will do with it;p
