A few days ago Intel has shown early images of upcoming SSDs and now, Intel's next generation consumer NVMe products are online. The two new M.2 product series fall under 760p, 700p and 660p branding. While two of them come with TLC memory, the third one sports 4-bit per cell (QLC) flash.



In the table below, you can see Intel's consumer SSD product line with 64-layer 3D memory. The chart includes two existing products like the 600p and the 545p for comparison. At this time, only the Intel 760p is listed on the U.S. reseller Tiger Direct. Like we have mentioned before, the new series includes three models: the 760p, the 700p and the 660p.

The Intel SSD 760p comes in five capacities ranging between 128GB and 2TB in the M.2 form factor. Performance wise, sequentially reading these drives should achieve up to 3'200MB/s and 1'600MB/s in the case of sequential writes. The random performance comes to 350'000 IOPS read and 280'000 IOPS write. This is in line with the Silicon Motion SM2262 controller that we have seen on ADATA XPG SX8200 SSD. While ADATA is using overprovisioning that shrinks the user capacity, Intel is marketing this unit without heavy overprovisioning.

The Intel 700p BGA SSD shows capacities between 128GB and 512GB. Performance wise, sequentially reading these drives should achieve up to 1'800MB/s and 1'800MB/s in the case of sequential writes, while the the random performance comes to 150'000 IOPS read and 150'000 IOPS write. Last but least there is the Intel SSD 660p that comes with QLC memory. This SSD achieve 1'800 MB/s sequential read and 1'100 sequential write speeds. The random performance hits 150'000 IOPS for both reads and writes.

All units are backed by a 5-year warranty.
