- jeffbee 6y agoThinking it over a bit more, there definitely are examples that seem to have been driven speculatively by Intel, and their application in industry is not clear. Optane is the one that strikes me as a thing that Intel decided they _could_ do, and then did. The companies where I have worked that considered Optane did so after Intel shipped it, they didn't do research that concluded they needed it before it existed. Also, I can't recall an instance where the TCO looked good for Optane. But as for architectural extensions, there clearly are customers asking for these things, even TSX which has never worked.
