SPR's: For Windows Command Prompt users, Windows 10 has brought the gift of keyboard shortcuts. Here, we are going to tell you about the different shortcuts you can use in your Windows 10 Command Prompt.

Talking about the Windows 10 features and functionalities, there could be negative arguments like privacy concerns and Microsoft stealing your data. But, the Command Prompt in Windows 10 is a definite improvement compared to the older version of Windows. The Command Prompt in Windows 10 feels smoother and comes with the functionality of using keyboard shortcuts.

With the new shortcuts, you can easily cut and paste things in the Command Prompt window along with other useful ones. Let’s know more about them:

How to enable Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts in Command Prompt?

In Windows 10 final version, Command Prompt keyboard shortcuts are turned on by default. If you are having the earlier builds, you can check the Propertiesand turn them on.

In the Command Prompt and right-click on the title bar to open the options and click Properties. Under the Options tab, find the section Edit Options and check the box next to Enable Ctrl key shortcuts.

Intel 3D Xpoint Memory is 1,000 Times Faster Than SSDs, Biggest Breakthrough Since 1989

Micron-Intel 3D Xpoint™ technology wafers

SPR's : 3D Xpoint Memory, created by Intel and Micron, is claimed to be 1000 times faster than modern SSDs. It could be used to replace both a computer’s RAM and its SSD. Intel 3D Xpoint Memory has more endurance compared to its competitors and it’s already in production.

Today, Intel and Micron announced that they have developed a new method to store data that is denser, faster, and tougher than its competitors like solid state drives. This new 3D Xpoint memory (pronounced cross-point) is already in the production. The company announced that this new category of non-volatile storage is 1,000 times faster than the currently used NAND architecture used in SSDs and memory cards.

This new class of memory can be used both as non-volatile as well as system memory. Intel 3D Xpoint Memory can be used to replace both a computer’s SSD and its RAM. These new memory chips could be used to increase the performance of basically all devices- cell phones, laptops, supercomputers– and everything.

Intel and Micron are claiming that 3D Xpoint Memory is a major breakthrough in the storage technology since the advent of NAND in 1989. Companies claim it to have higher endurance than existing NAND flash memory along with the speed. 3D Xpoint Memory is about 10 times denser- so more data could be stored in the space, making this storage solution affordable and energy efficient.

The new Intel 3D Xpoint Memory uses Xpoint memory cells, instead of the traditional transistors to make up the core of the memory. It changes the properties to have a high or low electrical resistance, which indicates 1’s and 0’s respectively. As the name suggests, the memory cells are stacked in a 3D cross pattern and allows each cell to be accessed individually for writing purposes. By this individual reporting, Intel 3D Xpoint Memory can last 100s of times longer before breakage and perform 1000 times faster.

Intel hopes that these chips would initially help in speeding up big data machines. Intel 3D Xpoint Memory is already in production, though it’s uncertain when it’ll be available for PCs.
