Intel SSD 710 and 720 Specifications Leaked
Intel SSD 710 and 720 are scheduled to launch during Q3 this year. However, detailed specifications have already been leaked before the launch date.
From the table, we can see that the Intel SSD 710, codenamed Lyndonville, is a slightly better spec-ed SSD compared to the Intel SSD 320 series. The read speed is up to 270MB/s whereas the write speed is 210MB/s. Intel SSD 720, codenamed Ramsdale, on the other hand boast a very high read speed of 2200MB/s and 1800MB/s of write speed. However, the Intel SSD 720 is not the usual SATA drive but a PCIe version. It also consumes roughly 21W more power compared to Intel SSD 320 and 710. The Intel SSD 710 and Intel SSD 720 are rumoured to retail during Q3 this year.

Update: As pointed out by our readers, it looks like the 720 will need more than 6Gbps at the PCIe bus to accommodate its maximum read and write speeds. At this point, we can only assume that there is indeed a typo somewhere -- either on the roadmap or on this table.
