I figure this should greatly reduce the number of sticks computing centers will need to order and install.

The 128GB TSV DDR4 RDIMM is comprised of a total of 144 DDR4 chips, arranged into 36 4GB DRAM packages, each containing four 20-nanometer (nm)-based 8-gigabit (Gb) chips assembled with cutting-edge TSV packaging technology.
 
I hope these work with the xeon 2690v3, and existing supermicro x10 series boards, I could use 2x ram without more machines.
 
Everything in a giant ram drive please! Can't wait for these to hit high end workstation/consumer stuff.
 
Xpoint is supposed to be able to fit in DIMM's or on die to either supplement or replace system RAM/last level caches though as fast high capacity non-volatile storage. It'll be in drives too of course but its the former application that is more interesting and exciting.

From what little has been mentioned about it though it sounds as if it'll be damn expensive in that configuration.
 
What do you have against Samsung?

Their SSDs rock and their LCD screens rock.

Haven't really used them for much else.

their smart phones and refrigerators are pretty stellar too.

guess he's just a hater.
