so if you solder this accelerator onto a motherboard and make it a few times larger than your RAM, you get a super-low-latency L5-ish cache (where RAM is L4-ish) and, potentially, an ability to instantenously suspend and keep suspended without consuming any power at all, assuming RAM is mostly in the Optane cache at all times. sounds nice.

If it still suffers from the limited number of the write cycles, if it's even a few orders of magnitude more it still can't be used instead of RAM, but still just instead of the disk.

They claim that it has an unlimited number of write cycles.
