Anyone want to disagree that at this point Optane/3D-XPoint seems unlikely to become part of the typical (or even fairly specialized) memory hierarchy?

Too bad! The density benefits alone were compelling, and papers like this suggested a lot of green field in the system design space via the persistence capability.

I am less than well-informed on the subject, but isn't NVM in general already part of the memory hierarchy? For example, I saw many NVM options available for the Framework laptop.

How is Optane specifically different than such options?
