Intel Corporation announced today its latest solid-state drive (SSD), the Intel® Solid-State Drive 710 Series, a purpose-built Multi-Level Cell (MLC) data center SSD and replacement for the Intel® X25-E Extreme SSD. While the Intel X25-E was based on more expensive but highly reliable Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory, the Intel SSD 710 uses compute-quality Intel 25-nanomenter (nm) MLC NAND flash memory with Intel High Endurance Technology (HET) to deliver the endurance and performance necessary for data center, financial services, embedded, Internet portal, search engine and other demanding storage and server applications, but at a greater value.
 
Well, it should be cheaper per GB than the X25-E or there is no point.
 
I've seen speculation that these will be 40-60% cheaper $/GB compared to current X25-E's.
 
Newegg has them for sale right now. Current prices are as follows:

100 GB - $644.99 - $6.45 per GB
200 GB - $1,299.99 - $6.50 per GB
300 GB - $2,099.99 - $7.00 per GB

What did the X25-E's cost? They are all out of stock/discontinued on Newegg.
