Scorpio: it is not about crashing but Chrome eating ungodly amounts of Ram. Just now i looked at my chrome memory footprint. Oh, only 217 MB - for a single tab. Even a simple Reddit Text page needs 30 MB. the same page opened with other browsers can be as low as 2 MB..... Chrome just does it the simple way - "You got memory? give ti to me. i might need it sometimes".
You need to do a follow-up on why they failed. 5 years after this videos release, optane is still superior in many ways even when comparing it to the latest PCIe 4 SSDs.
for the low cost of $3.999 for 3gb or $9.999 for 6gb you can now own the apple ifast, plug it to your macpro and experience programs 149 times faster. buy now
It is a really fun hobby/interest for that reason! Would have been really incredible to have been using these things since the 80s like my step dad and seeing what is possible today. I got really into PCs around 2003, and I gotta say even those 20 years have been insane to watch. I remember back in 2004 or so, I learned what RAID was and I set up a RAID 0 array on my PC with two HDDs, and feeling really great about my performance uplift lol...
NVME IS 2Gb/s faster and has permanent storage. DDR5 RAM has bandwidth of 32-64GB/s while optane has 4GB/s. Optane also can't store stuff permanently. This is just like those weird Intel professors arcs they made that turned out to be bad
because it's volatile memory so you can't store anything in there if the power went out and you didn't save anything, everything in the ram would be erased
Hey Linus! Could you do a video about using optane regularly? Like maybe a video about how it feels to use it for a week compared to a typical SSD? That would be awesome!
Shoeb Adnan Please do, I barely make money (due to being a teenager) and I'm looking forward to buying a 240Gb SSD, but it's $80 or more. Come on, for 240Gb? Seriously lower the price, just hopefully Optane will lower SSD prices.
I think Samsung is the main culprit here. If you wanna buy a Sam Evo 500gb, you have to spend around AUD200 to 250!! It's fukin outrageous. They have created a perception in market that ssd is some kind of hightech technology only to justify their price. And other companies are following them as well.
Only Intel could take such a revolutionary technology and make such a boring product with it... I want 3D-Xpoint Memory in Dimm form to replace both DDR and NAND!
Yeah I know...I just... you know... I want it NOW!!!! :P A product that accelerates mechanical HDs ... only on a platform that typically doesn't have them is not an exciting product.
optane memory is NOT as fast as ram when it comes to latency; rendering standard memory still relevant. Dont chuck your dimms out yet, optane is just very good at bridging memory and standard hardrive disks for legacy user(which was always its intended purpose due to intel owning it). The teck wont replace standard memory anytime soon since it is proprietary and must compete with the open market.
Before asking my question, I must thank you for that presentation ! It's clear, concise though informative, and dynamic (thanks to you we just can't fall asleep). On another topic, at 6:25 there's an interesting chart comparing Google Chrome and MS Edge...Is there a Benchmark also involving Firefox (and others for that matter)?
I would like to see a techquickie on what "Que Depth" is. I generally understand what IOPS are, i understand what sequential speeds are, but I don't understand what the difference is between Q1 or Q32, or why your IOPS go up the deeper the que.... or if any of those statements are even accurate. Would be a nice video to see.
From the information I have been reading the Optane cache is in reality a small NVMe drive and the Intel Software 'concatenates' its to the hard disk. Then the software manages which files are actually store on the Optane portion of the drive. So the questions I have are: 1) does optane cache writes as well as reads ... performance I have seen during Windows updates indicates it does not 2) is Intel Optane really faster than NVMe drives like the Crucial P1 3) The overhead of the Intel software has to significant as well 4) Optane Cache can speed up hard disk access on older computer with a mechanical hard drive but if you can not use it on older computers then what is the point? In the end the only 'advantage' to Intel RST is that one can only run a Microsoft Operating system and the only ones that benefit are Microsoft. Linus, this video may be a bit dated but you need a 'real world' comparison between Optane Cache and NVMe drives to really "learn all about it".
3d- and/or sandwiching/layering techniques are the single one improvement all of future chip technology can benefit from big time... I'm eagerly waiting for the first multi-layer cpu architectures to emerge...
thecouchtripper Linus tested the optane on his other channel. The only thing it did was make a HDD work as fast as an SSD, but barely made any change to the SSD. By the end of the testing, Linus himself said the same thing: for now, considering the availability of this product, what it changes within your system, and the platform required to run it (only Intel stuff with kabylake, nothing AMD), you're better off buying an SSD instead.
Let me see, get optane, and be required to be tethered to Intel, or live with my "slow" 960 EVO and be able to choose Ryzen? Hmmm, thanks Intel, but I will keep my Ryzen R7 1700 and 960 EVO.
Elijah Nemr Yeah! Imagine when AMD reverse engineers this, make their own cheaper and usable on any platform (like their Free-sync)! THAT is the future!
the implications for music production are endless think about how many densely-multisampled instruments you'd be able to run at once without freezing tracks or hitching when accessing the disk
Just for anyone still looking up these vids, whether you have a super high end rig or a bottom dollar build with hamster wheels powering it, Optane should ALWAYS go in if you have an M.2 slot. It really is worth it. I bought one just to play around and it will increase the load/read speeds of just about everything.
the product was designed to push the limits of computing, not be affordable. The problem here is that you want the fancy tech, when no one is forcing you to buy it. Just buy the cheaper stuff; your problem solved.
I'd have to disagree with you on that, Intel is selling 16gb versions of this at or around 50USD, and I can see this being a nice cheap way to make newer cheap laptops/All in ones have SSD like performance while still putting a cheap but large HDD inside them. From that perspective, I'd say Intel is positioning this in the consumer market as a cheap solution to make a newer PC "Faster". I think PCper came to the same conclusion as that too in their coverage of the product. I can see it now, 399USD computers with an extra fancy sticker saying "Intel Optane Inside", Demo station setup just to turn on and off and show people how much faster these new computers are. The sheeple will eat that up all day. Going in Mac computers for sure, and the'll say they invented it, then jack the price for a 16gb drive to like 200USD. *Edit: For celerity, What im talking about are Intel based systems with Z270 or newer Supported Chipsets.*
Naouta Optane doesn't apply to pre-Kaby Lake generation computers and any motherboard that lacks a M.2. This has no retroactive benefit, only for future Intel computers, most likely pre-builts.
I see I didn't make it clear I was talking about newer computers, intel to be more exact. So for clarity, i was referencing that OEM's would be putting these in Z270 or newer chipset computers and laptops. As a cheap way to make them seem like a better buy over a computer with a good SSD in it.
Its fun looking at the promotional material for something like this. I worked on this stuff back in 2011 when it was still experimental. Its both dramatically more complicated than this, and also simpler.
The consumer market for this is virtually non-existent. Any buying those boards and CPUs would hopefully NEVER consider a spindle drive as their OS drive therefore making this product pointless as it ONLY caches the OS drive. Now if it were opened up to any platform they MIGHT get some older systems to benefit but it sounds like their market is corporate cloud servers etc. The benefits to typical home users would be negligible over just an SSD HDD. A spindle drive in a properly configured system is used for storage, not the OS making this product utterly useless for 99.99% of the consumer market meeting their prerequisites. IE waste of money.
Do you reckon Optane could be used to improve battery life in mobile devices as it's non-volatile? I wonder if it would use less power over a 24 hour period than LPDDR4...
I'm seeing so many optane videos from you guys it starting to make me suspect that you're not very unbiased/independent of the companies you cover (specifically Intel in this case).
So, it's basically just going to make the concept of a Ram Disk practical. Which is great. It's just not ground-breaking. If it was, people would be using Ram Disks more often.
Ahhh... the good ol' milk 5 videos out of one product that doesn't apply to people with SSDs, who happen to make up quite a bit of the target audience...
KofPrussia yep specially since it won't work on the pentium kabylake chips just i3 kaby and up so most people in those budgets most likely have a small SSD boot. kinda sad optane only works for boot drives
@@Demon09-_- I have a 350 dollar laptop with i3 7th Gen it came with a hdd and plenty of room for RAM and one m.2 slot. Optane looks pretty good now that it has higher Gbs
@@Inertia888 just make sure that m.2 slot is an nvme one as optane needs nvme to work. and its not amazing it is just an ssd cache so things that are used alot will get cached but some people will be better served by just an ssd. optane is very fast but its only fast if what you use is on it when you click to open it. its not horrible now that you can speed up secondary large drives as I currently have my 5tb secondary combined with a optane module
You said if I don't like the video to put it up my butt. My question is how to go about that, is there technology for that yet? If I stored the video on an m.2 optane cache that might fit but I'm concerned about how long the data lasts. I could just put it on a thumbstick. But then the question above all is really how can I access the video from the butt port. I honestly don't know what kind of compatibility I've got down there. I always thought of it as an output device anyways but I'm open to new ideas.
The entire video would have been finished in 5 minutes. If it weren't for your funny body language and exaggerated expressions. But I find these videos helpful the I decide to become a dork. Thanks man!
Thanks for the explanation on this. I just purchased a new HP Envy I7 11th gen 2 in 1 laptop with the Intel Optane+ssd included. After looking up prices, it's quite expensive. It's being used for audio and video editing and it's super fast! Thanks again.
I feel like there's a security risk that can come with optane modules being used as RAM-like working memory, considering volatility wouldn't be an issue when pulling data from it, negating the need for keeping liquid nitrogen on hand to preserve valuable data when pulling it out of the board. I tried looking around for information and couldn't find any in regards to the security of these things, but maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works. I'll probably give it a year and see what people come up with before getting one myself.
Cool... Thanks for sharing your experience. I was just curious on if the Optane would be a replacement to the SSD or N.2 formats. You said no.... So thanks for answering my question... Happy techying....

@@Inertia888 just make sure that m.2 slot is an nvme one as optane needs nvme to work. and its not amazing it is just an ssd cache so things that are used alot will get cached but some people will be better served by just an ssd. optane is very fast but its only fast if what you use is on it when you click to open it. its not horrible now that you can speed up secondary large drives as I currently have my 5tb secondary combined with a optane module
@@Demon09-_- i am trying to decide optane or samsung 970
You said if I don't like the video to put it up my butt. My question is how to go about that, is there technology for that yet? If I stored the video on an m.2 optane cache that might fit but I'm concerned about how long the data lasts. I could just put it on a thumbstick. But then the question above all is really how can I access the video from the butt port. I honestly don't know what kind of compatibility I've got down there. I always thought of it as an output device anyways but I'm open to new ideas.
I actually am an AI scientist :(
The entire video would have been finished in 5 minutes. If it weren't for your funny body language and exaggerated expressions. But I find these videos helpful the I decide to become a dork. Thanks man!
Can you imagine how much money and time you would've saved by being into books and sports lol
Patrick lol ok
Patrick lol ok

pls make a vid explaining what a hell is queue depth and iops
Wow another Optane video from LMG, I count 3 in less than 2 months.... Seems like intel has their hands firmly in LMG pockets.
Drider dude just fuck off. Intel made cool shit. If any other co. Did it they would do the same.
And here I was saving up for a 512GB SSD. By the way, did you just high-five the entire Simpson family?
Can you speak english please?
I would like a techquicky about all those measurement like ipos
Thanks for the explanation on this. I just purchased a new HP Envy I7 11th gen 2 in 1 laptop with the Intel Optane+ssd included. After looking up prices, it's quite expensive. It's being used for audio and video editing and it's super fast! Thanks again.
This guy really annoys me.
I feel like there's a security risk that can come with optane modules being used as RAM-like working memory, considering volatility wouldn't be an issue when pulling data from it, negating the need for keeping liquid nitrogen on hand to preserve valuable data when pulling it out of the board.
I tried looking around for information and couldn't find any in regards to the security of these things, but maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works. I'll probably give it a year and see what people come up with before getting one myself.
This was a historically bad video, ...i think one of the worst from Linus
2:24 Instead of Barry Allen ( lol) being the fastest for a gag..Yall should have used Bruce Lee.

AMD1: Should we take a go at the optane?
AMD2: Nah man, let them have this one....
Intel Optane? More like “Sorry it won’t remain…” 🙁
Cool... Thanks for sharing your experience. I was just curious on if the Optane would be a replacement to the SSD or N.2 formats. You said no.... So thanks for answering my question... Happy techying....
