File:Intel Optane 900p Sequential Steady-state mixed performance graph, from a review by Tom's Hardware.png

Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description The graph shows the performance from 100% read and 0% write, to 100% write and 0% read, for Optane versus many competing reputable SSDs. Every graph except the dramatically for all mixes except the extremes. The Optane demonstrates sustained high performance at all mixes, around 2200 - 2400 MB/sec in the middle 70% of the chart, whereas all others are around 500 - 700 MB/sec.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) 3D XPoint
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) 3D XPoint is the first of a new type of NV RA, and gives rise to a new type of SSD technology. The most pronounced and commented on feature of the 3D XPoint ("Optane") SSD devices is their remarkable performance as fast SSDs, often multiples of the speed of the best that preceded them, and unaffected by workload mixture or device state. Compared to traditional SSDs, their performance graphs are frequently described as having to be seen to be believed (cited in article). This graph illustrates this reason for their acclaim and attention, which would be hard to appreciate from words alone, by illustrating why the Optane in benchmarks by reputable technology reviewers, is so often seen as in a class of its own.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
While any private individual could grab a few SSDs and produce a graph, the only graphs that carry any credibility - and hence educational and encyclopedic value - would be those produced and published by a reputable body - and those will all be non-free.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The graph as explained is minimal in the most important sense - it is a selection of one item from dozens, all of which must be reviewed and interpreted to learn much. It is low resolution, without much detail or comment, so the only point it is capable of making is the one that is needed in the article - a visualisation of how different in *kind* this device is from every one of its predecessors.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The graph is one of a great many of graphs from a long and detailed review. A person interested in this topic will quickly perceive that a single one of those graphs, in isolation, has almost no value or utility - only taken as a whole with the dozens of other types of test result graphs, and the extensive analysis in the accompanying text, is it possible to conclude much or anything about the item. In addition the graph is bare, showing the minimum that could make the point, with low levels of detail to get the "gist" only
