I'm still waiting for the 512GB Intel DIMM using optane and fast cache. The optane-based sticks should also have ultra low watt sleep states.

For what? You probably couldn’t even afford it. It will never be a consumer products

512GB Optane DIMMs are incredibly expensive at about $8500 per DIMM. When using Optane DIMMs, you need enough DRAM to act as a high speed buffer to hid the latency and vastly slower performance of Optane vs DRAM. Outside of the server space there is little reason to go with Optane DIMMs.

I can't afford it if it does exist. However, I want to see the progress that will trickle down to the consumer level eventually. This should open up applications that are not currently possible.
One application that comes to mind is using all the 64-bit address space. Basically, all applications and data will be available in memory at all times without needing to load and unload programs from storage. Just thinking.

I think it’ll be sometime before we see that level of memory modules for consumers. Some day

That is like being in 2002, and waiting for solid state drive technology to filter down to the consumer.

The amount of brainpower I will expend on this new thing is exactly zero, until it actually appears.

Actually, though...I've already expended more than that in this post.
