We have more details about the upcoming Intel SSD 760p (small p for flash, large P for 3D XPoint) in the form of a datasheet. All capacities will feature a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor.The component side of the drive will feature a cooling strip to help remove heat from the controller.
The drive will match the 100,000 IOPS performance for the best SATA SSDs while offening a 3x improvement in sequential reads. The sequential write speed of up to 650 MB/s is
The performance increases rapidly as we double the flash. The 250GB more than doubles the random performance and gets us near 3,000 / 1,300 MB/s read / write speeds. The three largest models—512GB, 1TB, and 2TB—share the same performance with 3,200 MB/s sequential read, 350,000 read and 280,000 write random IOPS. The datasheet doesn’t show the sequential write performance for the two largest models
The word on the street is the Intel SSD 760p 128GB that should sell for ~$90. The drive should be coming out in February
