> Says the company that claimed it would be 1000x faster than NAND flash, it isn't, and moving the location of the bus isn't going to change that.
Using the IO bus instead of the memory bus is exactly why existing Optane products haven't delivered latency that's 1000x better than NAND flash. NVMe transactions take at least 5-10µs even with DRAM as the SSD media rather than NAND flash or 3D XPoint. Moving to the memory bus is a prerequisite to 3D XPoint fulfilling those original performance claims.
