Ouch!

10x latency and 3x endurance might normally satisfy the "must be 10x better" criteria to break into an existing market, but with the maturity of flash, and how memory hierarchies can ameliorate useful sets of latency requirements, this could end up being a damp squib instead of the revolution promised. 1000x endurance would have been great, 3x, who will notice?

Not the first time Intel has grossly mismanaged its technology....

"memory hierarchies can ameliorate useful sets of latency requirement"

Not the latency for commits to stable non-volatile storage, unless battery backed RAM is an option.

Or just a big enough capacitor to finish the necessary writes to flash memory. Which as I understand it is one of the things that distinguishes enterprise from consumer flash drives, and one of the reasons I use the slowest, smallest Intel enterprise flash drive for system and /home.
