Persistent memory is going to a big thing in the cloud computing space in the coming years. Without an answer to Optane AMD is going to have a tough time competing with Intel.

Optane used to be very attractive when it promised all the performance at cheaper than DRAM price. But now DRAM price has sunk, and we will have to see whether 2nd gen Optane will deliver what Intel promised.
