Intel SSD Drives Coming

Posted on Apr 2, 08 10:25 AM PDT

It’s not a surprise to see that Intel will put all its weight behind a fast growing semi-conductor based storage system: solid state drives will kill small hard-drives - that’s a fact. At the Intel Developer Conference, Intel has demonstrated that its drives were faster than traditional drives, by comparing the load-time of a video application. I’m always cautious when I see a company-controlled benchmark, but this is an interesting demo. In case you missed it, the Macbook Air’s SSD did not bring significant improvement in performance or battery life – two critical promises of SSDs.

Note that SSDs might be manufactured with a slightly less edgy process (compared to the CPUs) making it possible for Intel to keep using older manufacturing plants. I’m just speculating here.
