AppendixSlide: “Intel® Optane™ Memory H10 with SSD”1.Tested by Intel as of August 17, 2020, in the following common laptop use cases:(1) a collection of benchmarks and real-world workloads with drives at 50% prefill including PCMark 10 storage tests, CrystalDiskMark 7, email launch, PDF editor launch, photo editor launch, video editor launch, and selected games. (2) a series of Iometer tests at QD1 and QD2 with drives at 50% prefill. Tests were composed of various combinations of sequential and random read and write scenarios, designed to approximate real-world client PC usage based on Intel research, in both single and mixed modes with span size 8GB.
System configuration: Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 processor (4C8T, Turbo up to 4.7GHz) on Intel reference platform. Graphics: Intel Iris Xe. Memory: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4. Storage: 32GB+1TB Intel Optane memory H10 with solid state storage (with Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver 18.0.0.1138) vs. Samsung 970 PRO, Samsung 970 EVO Plus, Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0, and Seagate FireCuda 520 (all 1TB NAND with Microsoft Windows 10 in-box PCIe driver). OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (version 18363.1016).Result: Intel Optane memory H10 with solid state storage prevails in the majority of tests against each NAND SSD.
