Intel Chip Chat

Jennifer Huffstetler, Vice President and General Manager for Data Center Product Marketing, Product Management, and Storage at Intel Corporation, joins Chip Chat to discuss developer and industry excitement for Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory. Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory represents a rare opportunity to re-architect the storage hierarchy by bringing affordable, high-capacity memory closer to the CPU, accelerating workloads and speeding the delivery of applications. In this interview, Huffstetler speaks to the key benefits that Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory will deliver to end users and how Intel is working to support the development community to enable best use of this groundbreaking technology. Resources for Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory now have reached more than 100,000 developers and see more than 10,000 developer users each month. Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory will be available for first access by the end of 2018. For more information on Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory, please visit pmem.io. 9x more read transactions (ops/sec) and 11x more users per system vs. comparable server system with DRAM and NAND NVMe drives when using Apache* Cassandra-4.0 results have been estimated based on tests conducted on pre-production systems, and provided to you for informational purposes. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more information go to www.intel.com/benchmarks. The benchmark results may need to be revised as additional testing is conducted. The results depend on the specific platform configurations and workloads utilized in the testing, and may not be applicable to any particular user's components, computer system or workloads. The results are not necessarily representative of other benchmarks and other benchmark results may show greater or lesser impact from mitigations. Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.
