From my understanding, the problem was that it wasn’t selling well enough and they decided to cut their losses. I’m not saying that Optane was a hill they needed to die on, but it’s just another example of their failed leadership and decision making. Look at how AMD is pursuing and largely succeeding with their vision of using chiplets in their CPUs and GPUs to enable significantly higher core counts at a lower cost. Or how Nvidia is innovating with massive AI supercomputers, ray tracing, and DLSS. What is Intel’s vision? In what way are they inventing the next generation of computing? It seems to me that their company objective is just to play catch up with AMD and Nvidia.
