Wasn’t quite right before, but Optane was sold off, so it’s sad the buyer just sat on the IP.

Also the selling point was latency, but I suspect we’ll see bandwidth being the important metric with AI using deep pipelines to stream in the weights in a latency insensitive manner.

It's maybe more maddening when you realize it was part of Intel getting completely out of memory, so that stings a bit. On the other hand, Intel needed focus rather than the multi-pronged MBA-driven mediocrity they'd been pursuing.
