Do Optane's prospects look DIMM? Chip chap has questions for Intel

Analysis Semiconductor analyst David Kanter has identified six areas of ignorance about Intel's Optane DIMMs where clarity will dictate whether they become popular or not.
Optane is a brand name for Intel's 3D XPoint memory, the storage technology that can be found in its P4800X series SSDs. The name has been slapped on Intel's forthcoming byte-addressable persistent memory DIMMs, which have a DDR4 bus interface that's faster than the P4800X's PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. They are sampling now in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities.
