I may be wrong, but I tend to think the fab cost has very little to do with the complexity, but not nothing, and the outcome cost is very unrelated to price at a viable yield.
If optane failed, it was probably because Intel didn't like the economics of pricing it to succeed.
- Synaesthesia 7mo agoI still think it has a lot of potential, and is the logical next storage system, because of its performance advantages over NAND flash. Because input costs can come down.
- ggm 7mo ago"here's one I prepared earlier" would be cute. I think other people's threads pointing out to scale globally it has to be something anyone can do, and right now Intel appear to have set the RAND conditions or whatever IPR they lock into this higher than other people want to pay.
