Optane, wannan shine sunan da Intel yayi baftisma da wannan sabon layin na SSD tare da fasahar 3D XPoint wanda ke wakiltar tsalle-tsalle da yawa idan aka kwatanta da tsohuwar al'adar SSD tare da tunanin NAND. Baya ga wannan, mun riga mun san cewa ya dace sosai da yarjejeniyar NVMe da Apple ya riga ya yi amfani da shi a wasu abubuwan na MacBooks, wannan yana nufin cewa zai iya zama da sauƙi ga Apple ya aiwatar da wannan fasahar a cikin na gaba Mac kwakwalwa da sauransu. sami ɗan fa'ida daga wannan sabuwar fasahar.
Amfani da fasahar 3D XPoint zai nufin haɓaka sauri har zuwa sau 1000 sama da mafi yawan ƙwaƙwalwar NAND kuma kuma har zuwa sau 1000 mafi dorewa. Wannan saboda, a cewar Intel, ya ninka DRAM sau 10.
Don fahimtar mahimmanci ga Apple na ladabin ajiya na NVMe (-Arfin Memory-not Volatile Memory Express) dole ne ya saki sabunta software don tallafawa shi akan 12-inch MacBook a watan Afrilun shekarar da ta gabata.
Wannan yana nuna a fili cewa NVMe an yi niyya ne don maye gurbin tsohuwar fasahar AHCI, wacce aka tsara ta kara girman tsarin aiki ta amfani da rumbun kwamfutoci na al'ada. Koyaya, NVMe an inganta shi don ayyukan ƙarancin ajiya na rashin ƙarfi wanda SSDs ke bayarwa tare da ƙwaƙwalwar mara tasiri.
Idan aka kwatanta da AHCI, NVMe ya rage jinkiri da kashi 50 cikin ɗari. Misali, Intel alama ce ta rashin ƙarfi a cikin 6 tsarin nanosecond SCSI / SAS a 19.500 hawan keke, amma NVMe yana sarrafawa don yin shi a cikin 2,8 nanoseconds da 9.100 hawan keke.
NVMe an tsara ta a sarari don zama yarjejeniya don aƙalla shekaru goma masu zuwa, kusan yanayin rayuwa mai kama da AHCI, wanda aka fara a 2004. Hakanan tun daga 2011, Apple yana amfani da bas ɗin PCIe don haɓaka bandwidth a cikin sassan ku, don haka ku a cikin kyakkyawan matsayi zuwa goyi bayan duk layin Mac tare da NVMe kuma don haka haɗa Intel Optane SSDs a cikin sabuntawa masu zuwa.
