Just going by the headline (since the usual paywall workarounds are failing), it seems like this is a rehash of Intel's original marketing claims for 3D XPoint/Optane, but as far as I can tell they've quietly backpedaled to "expensive SSD" for the first-gen products.
This seems oddly reminiscent of Larrabee/Knight's Landing/Xeon Phi, which started off being billed as Intel's high-performance GPU play (they reportedly even hired Michael Abrash to optimize the rasterization code) and ended up being a niche HPC accelerator.
