He is the ultimate stock market leech. Solar City?

Amazes me people still defend this POS. He should have been brought up on charges for misleading investors 2+ years ago.

Ay, but Titan V owners also had the benefit of using the card for the past 9 months. $3K for a card known to have performance capped due to heat issues, I can't imagine anyone that's using the Titan V for games hasn't spent the cash to liquid cool it.

Curious about the pricing, cost will 2-3x higher than current products which would still bring it well under Optane drive pricing right now but (a) 3DXP Gen 2 should put a nice dent in that next year and (b) there were no IOPS numbers in the referenced article.

We're still waiting for any of the supposed carbon-tube super-products to release, are we not? Been hearing about that and graphene for over a decade and what do we have to show for it? Or they can sprinkle some "nanoparticles" into their otherwise standard design and continue shrining.

Demand growth has far exceeded supply growth due to AI, AV, cloud infrastructure spending, increased memory content in mobile devices, IoT, etc. With only three companies manufacturing almost 95% of DRAM now there's no more undisciplined capex spending to try to take market share which results...

Any reduction in capacity increases prices and these chips aren't "limited edition" collectibles so that's a bad thing.

happy September

Depends on whether or not they sell at those prices. I'm guessing they'll sell out initially at those prices and perhaps the retailers know something about a low initial supply? If the cards sell, the price isn't ridiculous, and we've seen that consumers are indeed willing to shell out what...

For those 3DXP bashers out there... https://blog.selectel.com/intel-optane-ssd-scientific-applications/ Emphasis mine.

>Assembly and test operations i.e. PACKAGING. They do not fab or perform R&D in mainland China.

There is not a big market for Optane right now so I’m not surprised no new products are releasing. They need gen 2 to roll out with increased density before the chips are remotely profitable.

Who considers Taiwan China? Taiwan certainly doesn’t and there are criminal cases pending there regarding the UMC bs. Taiwan is not hostile like China.

Right, they developed a process they want to fail to cost themselves money just to charge the consumer more. Do pizzarias throw out half a pie so they can charge more for the remaining half? Try thinking things through before angrily spouting off. 96L yields higher bit growth (50%) than 64L...

Micron doend't R&D or produce any products in China. I believe they have a packaging facility there and that's it outside of sales.

It's not price gouging, it's pricing according to the supply/demand curves. Gouging would imply there was a freak increase in demand or decrease in supply (e.g. natural disaster) for an important/necessary good and the vendor is jacking up prices since the consumer has no choice but to buy the...

NAND based SSDs are underutilized at low queue depths so I doubt combining gaming and system drives will hurt performance.

Yes, I do, as a software developer and as a gamer as Aluminum described above. Whether or not the additional speed or snappiness is worth the steeper price is up to you, but it is noticeably faster (unlike, imo, going from SATA 2.5" SSD to NVMe SSD). Also, if you're writing a large amount of...

I bought a SanDisk 400GB Ultra from Amazon a week ago and it is indeed a full 400GB and pretty speedy

Hahaha show me where he’s created a sustainable business. He’s “cracking” because he’s in real legal trouble now.

Smells like damage control to give himself and out when the SEC Martha Stewarts him

What’s wrong with specifying max capacity at current NAND tech?

And if it was practical and efficient to upgrade service in the are a competitor would come in and do it. Google Fiber is most likely done due to the difficulties they’ve encountered (i.e. it’s not cost efficient) and they plan to switch over to wireless tech instead. I never know if I should...

Not only did Intel release it, it's actually for sale and one can buy it. But Samsung is the big dog so it is noteworthy that they're scaling up production. TLC -> QLC only yields a savings of ~25%, but QLC + 96L should yield a savings of approximately 50% from current prices, so that's where...

They claim they are but their poor process tech w/ 10% yields doesn't look very god for the near term. Many "in-the-know" don't think they'll be significant until 2025 at the earliest and maybe as far out as 2030

NVMe speeds are supported by SLC cache as well, once saturated the performance is ~100MB/s

Samsung and a Toshiba are several months behind; Intel and Micron have been shipping QLC drives for a few months now. Look around at some other hardware sites today, Intel released their consumer QLC drive today and you can buy it.

In the past, NVMe has essentially been NAND only, but there are now 3DXP drives as well and their 4K random performance at low queue depths (I.e. what’s actually relevant to most consumers) is 4x that of high end NAND drives. Whether or not the performance difference is worth the steeper price...

Going to an Optane 90xP drive would be noticeable w/ 4x single threaded 4K read performance.

Ambulance chasers on a fishing expedition - they file a lawsuit then make discovery requested for internal documents of the DRAM manufacturers. Two years ago Micron was operating at a loss; couple of years, eh?

Libelous; have any proof? Hint: past acts by former employees 10+ years ago are not proof of current wrongdoing. I wonder what's taking China so long with their investigation if the collusion is so obvious you know about it? Please, educate us.

That would be far, far worse.
