The PXIe-1095 is an important part of the NI ecosystem
that engineers can use to build smarter test systems.
These test systems benefit from more than 600 PXI
products ranging from DC to mmWave and feature
high-throughput data movement using PCI Express bus
interfaces and sub-nanosecond synchronization with
integrated timing and triggering. Supported by a vibrant
ecosystem of partners, add-on IP and applications
engineers, the NI platform helps dramatically lower the
cost of test, reduce time to market and future-proof
testers for tomorrow’s challenging requirements.
Intel and Micron Increase 3D XPoint
Manufacturing Capacity with IM Flash Fab
Expansion
Today, Intel and Micron announced the completion
of an expansion to Building 60 (B60) at the IM Flash
facilities in Lehi, Utah. The expanded fab will produce
3D XPoint™ memory media, a building block of Intel
®
Optane™ technology that includes Intel
®
Optane™
memory for clients, the recently announced Intel
®
Optane™ SSD 900P Series and new capacities and
form factors of the Intel
®
Optane™ SSD DC P4800X
Series. A ribbon-cutting was held at the facility with
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, employees of the facility and
representatives from Intel and Micron.
The IM Flash joint venture was created in 2006 to
manufacture non-volatile memory for both Intel
and Micron, starting with NAND for use in SSDs,
phones, tablets and more. In 2015, IM Flash began
manufacturing 3D XPoint™ technology, the first entirely
new memory media in 25 years. The technology was
developed to meet the quickly expanding data needs
for all types of customers. 3D XPoint™ technology
uses a crosspoint structure to deliver a cell and array
architecture that can switch states significantly faster
than NAND.
“Intel
®
Optane™ technology is changing the way we
interact with the incredible amounts of data being
created every day, and this expansion will help us
meet demand for the extraordinary products we’ve
introduced this year and the exciting roadmap ahead,”
said Rob Crooke, senior vice president and general
manager of the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Solutions
Group at Intel Corporation. “When we bring data closer
to the CPU and enable blisteringly fast access to that
data, we can empower customers to create incredible
experiences and deliver data results we’ve never had
before – faster MRIs, smoother gaming experiences,
real time analytics and so much more.”
Intel recently announced the Intel
®
Optane™ SSD
900P Series for use in desktop and workstation PCs. It
delivers incredibly low latency and best-in-class random
read and write performance at low queue depths.
Additionally, Intel expanded the Intel® Optane™
technology offerings for the data center, introducing
750GB capacity and 2.5-inch U.2 form factor versions
of the Intel
®
Optane™ SSD DC P4800X Series. For
details on these products and all Intel SSDs, visit Intel’s
solid state drives website.
