Intel claims fastest data centre storage title with Optane-charged P5800X
The Optane P5800X can do 1.5 million IOPS of random 4k reads and writes, and up to 1.8 million in mixed workloads, the chip giant claims.

According to the spec sheet, the P5800X is capable of hitting 7.2GB per second on sequential reads, 6.2GB per second on sequential writes, up to 1.5 million IOPS of random 4k reads and writes, which can increase to 1.8 million IOPS for mixed workloads of 70% reads and 30% writes.
"The fundamental thing that Optane does as an SSD is fix performance bottlenecks in other slower media ... most people think of hard drives as being a slower media, but believe it or not, both SATA SSDs and NVMe NAND SSDs are getting slower on a key metric, which is 70/30 read/write random performance," David Tuhy, vice president and general manager of Intel data center optane storage division, said.
