No AMD support? Time for Micron to jump into bed with AMD then and use their part of this tech.

TBH I do wonder what Micron's plans are for XPoint. I suspect that Intel wants to go more down the DRAM route with Optane, which could be a reason behind their split with Micron for 3rd Generation Optane.

It is strange that XPoint isn't in any Micron SSDs, TBH I would love to see a Crucial drive make use of an Optane Cache.

Optane would just be a more expensive SLC alternative. Albeit still faster and lower latency. Not sure if it would really help the super fast NVMe drives.
