There will, of course, be more details tomorrow once we attend the relevant product briefings. This will be late at night for those of you back in the states. No further details for now. I'm off to get some dinner and recover from that 14-hour flight!

Performance specs have decreased since original announcement
No solid product reveal or hard details yet and it’s almost October (release could just slip into ’17)
No word on pricing
Though I’d love to get Allyn’s thoughts on Optane up to this point.

Optane will be plenty fast, but it's not going to be out in any M.2 form factor any time soon.

Not gonna happen. We’ll get an 860 pro/evo some time later tho that’ll be SATA.
