Does Intel only sold the NAND manufacturing parts to SK Hynix or it also includes the SSD controllers IP? Because most of Intel SSD performance came from the controller not the NAND flash themselves, in fact Intel usually lag behind in NAND flash manufacturing.

That should give them time to disentangle any of the IP that's shared between the NAND SSD controllers and the Optane SSD controllers, and give Hynix time to decide whether it's worth continuing development of both their existing enterprise SSD controllers and Intel's designs.
