Intel 25nm SSD availability?

Hello,

Does anyone know if Intel will be releasing their 25nm SSD in February? I haven't seen any updates on this for several months.

Thanks.

Last October Intel announced their 25nm ssd's would be delayed. I have not been able to find any articles announcing a release date.

In the meantime, Corsair has released their Performance 3 ssd's. They are available at newegg:

Corsair was expected to be the first generation 3 ssd's available to consumers. Other brands are expected to be released between next month and May.

Gizmodo reported that the new drives would offer twice the capacity of current drives at the same price with a lifespan of 60TB.

I'm puzzled as to why the new 25nm drives aren't faster though.

Yes, I saw the news articles this morning. Looks like Intel will be introducing two lines of ssd's - the SATA II 310 which is the updated version of their current ssd's and the SATA III 510. The 510 looks promising.
