Intel has finally developed what it claims to be the world's fastest data center storage. The giant chip manufacturer said that its new Optane-charged P5800X can do 1.5 million IOPS of random writes and reads. 

Intel also claims it can do up to 1.8 million in mixed workloads. The company used the power of PCIe 4.0 to create the fastest SSD for data centers. 

It also released a spec sheet stating that the new Optane P5800X can hit up to 7.2GB per second of sequential reads. Aside from this feature, the new chip is also capable of hitting up to 6.2GB per second of sequential writes. 

How good is the new Optane P5800X? 

Intel's new Optane P5800X can deliver three times better performance in mixed workloads compared to the PCIe 3-powered P4800X, the company's previous Optane storage which was unveiled in 2017.

The new product can also deliver 40% quality of service and 67% more writes per day. 
"The fundamental thing that Optane does as an SSD is fixed performance bottlenecks in other slower media," said David Tuhy, Intel data center optane storage's vice president and general manager via ZDNet

"Basically when you're using an SSD to hold hot data, active data, where you're doing a lot of manipulation all of our NAND SSDs, the entire industry's NAND SSDs are getting exponentially slower," he added. 

Tuhy explained that allowing cloud vendors to handle many virtual machines on chips with many cores is really useful for Intel. The company gives them the freedom to do this even without the storage part of the equation holding system hack.  

Intel plans to unleash an Optane monster

Intel is also working on another Optane monster chip. According to TechRadar's latest report, Intel revealed six new memory and storage products. Optane Memory H20 is one of them. The new chip is the company's next-gen storage for light and thin notebooks. Intel also wants to integrate it into other small space-constrained and form-factor PCs.
