Intel pirated Optane and bailed when they got caught, seemed unrelated to AI, just Intel being Intel.

What? They co-developed Optane with Micron and Micron gave up on it before Intel did.

Micron bought IM Flash after development was ceased. But they stopped selling Xpoint products before Intel stopped selling Optane.

Intel and micron licensed the 3D XPoint nonvolatile memory cell from Ovshinsky/Ovonyx, then bled them dry by delaying royalties, eventually stopping payment altogether until they went under.

Eventually someone in the know bought the husk of Ovonyx and sued Intel.
