The photo shows "10x more write I/O's" 

To drive DBWR at a rate of 10x you need CPU. That is, if free buffer waits are 
holding your processor-utilization at about 10% and your app (and what your app 
does to the Oracle database concurrency code) scales you might get 10x... but 
then don't forget that your observed processor utilization on modern processors 
(most of which have SMT) includes thread execution so a server that is at about 
70% is generally maxed out. 

In other words, it depends.

Hi
Has anybody started using this feature 
https://twitter.com/fritshoogland/status/235146135084351488

of and experienced a 10X improvement in their OLTP applications by enabling 
flash write back cache ?

Under  what specific circumstances do you think that 10X improvement is 
possible.
What bottleneck would motivate us to turn on the exadata flash write back cache 
feature 

Can a SSD also achieve the same thing as a flash write back cache ?
