Based on the endurance numbers intel is providing, XPoint isn't looking a whole lot better than NAND, which is rather contrary to the original claims about the technology.

So either intel's specs are wrong, or they are having early production problems causing endurance problems.

Certainly 30 complete writes per day is not a lot more than the 17 complete writes per day that the intel NAND SSD is rated for, especially if it is for 3 years versus 5 years. Certainly based on intel's hype I was expecting 1000 complete writes per day instead.

The latency is rather impressive though.
