According to an article entitled "Intel launches fastest Optane SSD, 144-layer QLC NAND SSDs":

"One bit of information that surfaced on existing Optane PMem 200 series modules built for third-generation Xeon Scalable processors code-named Barlow
Pass is their use of enhanced Asynchronous DRAM Refresh (eADR) technology. The eADR feature can eliminate application wait time for cache flushes to
speed performance, Intel said."

Is this true? If so, what platform(s) support it, and where can I buy one?

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Hi Steve,

Yes, the quote is true. As part of the announcements, I made a video to explain some of the benefits of eADR in case folks are interested:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/events/memory-and-storage.html?videoId=6215533858001

On the question of where to buy an eADR system, I'm not aware of any public announcements yet from OEMs, but I suggest we keep our eyes open and post back here when they start to show up.

Thanks,

-andy

Sounds like a plan. Thanks!
