Intel leak hints at super-fast and ultra-dense next generation SSDs

By Matt Hanson

A new leak appears to show Intel’s plans for its upcoming solid state drives (SSDs), and it looks like there is going to be some very impressive technology included that will bring faster read and write speeds, while upping storage space as well.

The details, which leaked online and were reported on by Tom’s Hardware, allegedly show Intel’s upcoming SSD product line with 64-layer 3D memory, along with their specifications.

If the leak turns out to be true, it looks like we’ll be seeing some very fast, very large SSDs in the near future.

Special specs

The top-of-the-range Intel 760p SSD is set to come in the M.2 PCIe form factor, built with 64-layer TLC (triple-level cell ) 3D NAND. NAND memory stores data in physical memory cells, and the more data is stored per cell, the denser the memory is.

The 760p will come in five capacities: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, and will offer sequential read speeds of an astonishing 3,200 MB/s and write speeds of 1,600 MB/s. Basically, this is an incredibly fast SSD.

Next up is the 700p, which is a BGA-based SSD. BGA SSDs are quite a bit smaller than (already tiny) M.2 drives, and are …read more
