And that coincided with the tail end of IMFT - the Intel-Micron NAND joint venture. Intel saw Optane as the new hotness, high-bandwidth X-point NAND that was supposed to be paired with a mechanical SSD; the Windows version of Apple’s Fusion Drive.

It was a flop, much like Intel’s gamble on Rambus RDRAM 20 years ago - and Samsung took the NAND world by storm with their 3D V-NAND.
