What's been more innovative than Optane in the storage industry over the last decade?

Not relevant to the whether or not Intel has advanced technology in the storage field. It was and still is available for purchase. The OP did not have a caveat of advancing technology that Conahl can afford.

for servers only now, not available for consumers thats the point. why did intel discontinue it ? did intel realize it was point less for consumer usage ? micron dropped it so maybe it is. makes you wonder how much longer intel will continue with optane now

and you know what i can and can't afford spungiemaster ? yea ok sure. get off your " spungiemaster knows everything BS "

So, I am very curious about what Hynix is going to make off of the (now) ex-Intel SSD IP. I have always been drooling over Intel's PICe - slot based SSD drives with incredible durability and ultra low latencies. However price/size ratio was not really within the realm of an amateur consumer but rather for data center-like high throughput workloads.
So, I hope that Hynix will make some more affordable SSD drives based on the same advanced technological principals.
A prominent example is Lenovo notebooks that was originally an IBM division. Now, Lenovo has certalyinly upped the ante and done a terriffic job, however, there are people who still mourne over the impeccable quality control of original IBM notebooks from yesteryear.

I thought that having a strong storage arm was a strength for intel as an integrated solutions provider.

But financialization makes having an exposure to a volatile market a large liability.

Do you have anything relevant to the thread to add or just your usual anti anything-Intel BS?

Optane is still available for anyone to buy

could say the same as your usual anti anything amd BS, whats your point ?

and i stand corrected. where i am, no one even lists optane based drives any more, when i ask a couple of stores here , i was told its for servers only, as intel has stopped making them for consumers, and they cant even special order consumer based products.

Don’t you mean what’s more useless than Optane in storage??

Your comment was a joke, right if not I am laughing at you. Optane is useless as teats on a bull

I’m glad Intel is getting out of it because they do such a lousy job at every single thing they do including CPUs

They are the obese bloated fat retards of the industry

10 Reasons Why Intel’s Bleeding-Edge Optane Drive Is a Rip-Off

Thinking of buying Intel’s Optane technology? Think again. Optane suffers from unbelievable problems. Don’t trust the hype -- it’s a rip-off for what they’re charging.

"Solidigm" - truly Awful.

I hope it is pronounceable in Korea or Chinese because in English it's a monstrosity.

Lets leave the personal attacks out of this, OK.
