Washington: Intel with Micron has introduced a new kind of non-volatile data storage device which is denser, tougher and faster than the modern memory.

According to the Engadget, the chip called 3D XPoint forgoes traditional transistors that make up the core of modern flash memory. In its place, the material that makes up each Xpoint memory cell changes its physical properties to either have a high or low electrical resistance, which represents 1's and 0's respectively.
