Computer storage has been stuck in an innovation rut over the last two decades. While consumer drives have improved immensely, the fundamentals they're based on haven't changed. Computers use DRAM for ...

3D Xpoint (pronounced "crosspoint") is designed in a 3D structure, like some of the cutting-edge 3D NAND we've discussed. Unlike NAND, however, 3D Xpoint doesn't use an electrical charge to store data ...

3D XPoint technology is branded as Intel Optane and Micron QuantX by the companies that co-developed the memory chips used in the technology. 3D XPoint is a phase-change memory architecture that ...

Micron on Wednesday announced that with "immediate effect," it is moving away from further developments into 3D XPoint technology, and allocating those resources instead to bringing CLX-enabled memory ...

Micron has announced that it will be ceasing development of its 3D XPoint technology, something it had co-developed with CPU giant Intel. The company has announced it will be increasing its investment ...

Micron is stepping away from 3D XPoint memory technology. This week, it was revealed that the company is looking to sell its 3D XPoint memory fabrication plant, as well as ceasing all R&D funding into ...

The big picture: Micron Technology is washing its hands of 3D XPoint, the memory technology it announced alongside Intel back in 2015. The company has halted R&D and is putting its fab up for sale.

Last year, Intel and memory maker Micron announced a new generation of memory technology known as 3D XPoint (pronounced "3D cross point"). The technology itself is quite compelling, promising to serve ...

Micron Technology is tightening up its strategy in the data center market, halting development of its 3D XPoint memory to focus on other memory and storage improvements for servers. Micron, the ...
