[Beowulf] 3D Xpoint Memory

[Prentice Bisbal]

Nicole,

Thanks for the reply. I figured that was the case.  Just for the record, 
I wasn't criticizing you, I was criticizing Intel/Micron for not 
providing them. New technology is great, but how it's performance 
compares to existing products is really the most important information.
