Founded in 1968, Intel is known to the general public for offering desktop-class processors. Before being surpassed by Samsung in 2017, Intel Semiconductor maintained the No. 1 position in global revenue for a long time.
 
Due to the lack of obvious CPU updates in previous generations, Intel has been jokingly called the "toothpaste factory" where updates are like squeezing toothpaste. However, when it comes to SSD technology, Intel is an out-and-out proactive. The 3D Xpoint technology jointly developed by Intel and Micron bypasses the traditional flash memory manufacturing technology and adopts a new material that is more wear-resistant. SSDs with 3D Xpoint technology have lower latency, longer lifespans and faster speeds than traditional SSDs.
 
Intel's SSD products are divided into two suffixes, P series support PCI-E lanes, and S series support SATA lanes. The Intel 760P performs fairly well, with slightly worse read and write performance than the similarly configured Samsung 970EVO. The performance of the entry-level SSD 545S has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation 540S, but as an old product in 2017, Intel 545S is still a certain distance from Samsung's new products in 2018.
 
Although it is weaker than Samsung in traditional flash memory technology, Intel's flagship hard disk with 3D Xpoint technology has made a huge breakthrough, and the Intel Optane 900P's 4K random read and write speed is nearly three times that of Samsung's 970PRO, and the read and write performance completely throws off all solid-state drives on the market. With super performance, there is also a more expensive price,Under the same capacity,Intel Optane 900P is twice as expensive as Samsung970PRO,It is not advantageous in terms of cost performance。
