There's always one...

"Even more intriguing, Intel promises an "all new memory architecture" that delivers persistent data at four times the capacity of DRAM but at lower cost and 500 times the speed of NAND flash."

waddle...

wikipedia gives max ddr3 speed as 6400 MB per sec:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM

DDR4 supposedly "processes up to 17 GB of data per second" - which may not be the same as transfer speed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM

The currently fastest widely available nand SSD's top out at just over 500MB/s:

500*500MB/s = 250,000 MB/s (or 250GB/s)

So is their new tech over 14 times faster than the currently fastest DDR4? Or are they saying its 500 times faster than a usb flash drive from 2001 that they found at the back of a couch?

My car can go about half as fast as a turtle in free fall (thats a fairly accurate aproximation btw)

These numbers mean nothing.
