The Intel-Micron 3D XPoint Technology Report
On the 29th of July 2015, Intel Corporation and Micron Technology Inc. unveiled the culmination of a decade's worth of joint effort in developing new memory technologies - the 3D XPoint memory technology!
Pronounced as "three-dee cross point", the 3D XPoint memory is a new class of non-volatile memory, designed to replace NAND flash memory. It is up to 1,000 times faster with up to 1,000 times greater endurance than NAND flash memory. On top of that, it is 10 times denser than DRAM memory.

Intel and Micron have been working together on new memory technologies since 2005. After researching several potential memory technologies, they began focusing aggressively on developing the 3D XPoint memory technology in 2012.
)
Commercial development of the 3D XPoint memory technology began in Micron's Boise, Idaho fab facility in 2012. When unveiled today, it represented the culmination of a decade's worth of collaborative research on new memory technologies by Intel and Micron.
