to get the most for their money. If you don’t play games, then the CPUs
on this list may not be suitable for your particular needs.
- Intel Discontinues X-25E SSD Line - Intel
has announced that it will be discontinuing its X-25E SSD line and will
replace it with the 710 Series for enterprise users. The X-25E SSDs use
50nm SLC NAND Flash memory, which is in short supply, so Intel is
dropping that line of drives by the wayside. The 710 Series use 25nm
MLC-HET NAND Flash memory and will arrive in the middle of August, and
seeing how the X-25E SSDs will be discontinued on July 11th, there will
be a slight gap between them.
