Johnathan \u201cFatal1ty\u201d Wendel, the world\u2019s best known PC gamer, and Fusion-io join up at the Fatal1ty E3 booth to launch the ioXtreme, a solid state storage device for high-performance PCs and workstations using 64 bit operating systems. The ioXtreme eliminates application latency, delivering the kind of storage performance once limited to the world\u2019s fastest supercomputers.<\/p>\n
Drawing from Fusion-io\u2019s industry-leading solid-state technologies, the ioXtreme is a PCI Express card that sits on the system bus filling the performance gap between RAM and disk drives. It adds 80 GB of non-volatile capacity, exponentially accelerating input and output, including file access, and improving application performance dramatically.<\/p>\n
"The ioXtreme supercharges high-end PCs and workstations. I predict this technology will fundamentally change the way software is designed, allowing developers to create a new class of applications that seamlessly handle massive amounts of data," Fatal1ty said. \u201cImagine playing the most intense game, working on complex 3-D graphics, manipulating massive files, ripping multiple DVDs and installing a new application — all simultaneously. The technology is crazy and works at the speed I need.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cJohnathan\u2019s experience with high-end computing has given him a unique insight into the disruption our core technology brings to all levels of computing,\u201d said Steve Wozniak, chief scientist of Fusion-io. \u201cWe look forward to working with an incredible young talent like him. The ioXtreme is a good example of how combining the wisdom of veterans, such as myself, with next generation expertise such as Johnathan\u2019s, will take Fusion-io\u2019s performance revolution into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheduled for release in July at a list price of $895, the ioXteme has been architected for prosumers and extreme PC users and is specifically designed for easy upgrades. Through future software releases, the ioXtreme will be able do far more than application acceleration, including features like boot and transparent data migration. Fusion-io and Fatal1ty will be demonstrating the ioXtreme during E3 in booth #2922 South Hall.
