I wonder if Intel is trying to keep the endurance number under wraps. If they can't beat the current drive writes per day spec it is like having a 10 gigabit internet connection but a usage cap of 1 gigabyte.

Endurance should be fine, orders of magnitude better than flash. Just some temperature wear.
But the speed and density seems to be a problem. E.g. it's still 2x slower than DRAM, but theoretically should be faster. It could also have 3 bits, not just 2.
