Comparing the Optane DC P4800X to a standard 64-layer NAND flash equipped Intel data centre drive (in this case Intel's 8TB DC P4510), tested at 8K (more akin to data centre traffic), shows the huge advantage 3D XPoint brings in IOPS performance at low queue depths (QD1-4), and at very low latencies – particularly when it comes to read performance.

As the queue depth deepens, the performance of the DC P4800X plateaus out while the DC P4510 overtakes it and climbs out of sight.
