I haven't had the benefit of experiencing optane first hand, but the specs look insane to me. And I completely agree, Intel bumbled the whole strategy for it. And on top of the strategy, the marketing is abysmal, not just for optane but even their processor lines. This video laid out their new 10nm processor naming scheme (https://youtu.be/hzXKDQR_1d4 https://youtu.be/hzXKDQR_1d4) and at this point it seems malicious. Like they're trying to make it so consumers accidentally get the highest margin chip on the stack by getting a low power 'i7'. Or maybe hope consumers just stop trying to compare between processor skus, or head to head benchmarks against AMD, and instead focus on the brand that is 'intel inside'.
