Intel would stop producing Optane M10, 800p, 900p and 905p SSDs

A few days ago the change of CEO at Intel was announced, to try to solve the company's problems. Pat Gelsinger is challenged to solve the problems they have with lithographs. In addition to this, Intel would have stopped producing the Optane M10, 800p, 900p and 905p SSDs.

Intel is currently struggling to compete in different processor segments. Core processors for gaming and office automation have been swept out of the market by AMD Ryzen. In servers things are not better, since the Xeon can do little against the AMD EPYC.

Intel would stop producing part of its Optane SSD catalog

One of the reasons for ceasing production of these units would be the sale of the NAND technologies unit to SK Hynix. The company has not managed to find a place in this market. In addition, it will relieve the workload of your plants a bit, using NAND Flash chips in the future.

The company sticks with the H20 SSDs that make use of Optane memories based on QLC NAND memories. The HS20 is an Optane solution with QLC memory based cache that is slower, but makes this unit a hybrid solution. Thus, the remaining stock of the Intel SSD Optane M10, 800p, 900p and 905p memories will be sold.

The company stopped accepting orders for Intel Optane SSD M10, 800p, 900p, and 905p drives between January 13th and 15th. Shipments will end on February 26th.

Optane has not managed to get a good share of the SSD market due to prices. The NAND units are much cheaper than the XPoint, although the Optane memories are better in performance, the user is looking for more price than performance.

Intel will focus Optane to the market for servers, workstations and the like. This market prioritizes performance over price, where XPoint memories clearly win out.
