    At least they’ve written it properly. I’ve seen a few sites that would try to pull the wool over your eyes by calling it 20GB RAM.

    Optane is interesting though, if you have a compatible CPU & mobo running a mechanical hard drive, this new pre-caching tech can speed things up by around 1400%... if you already have an SSD you might see around 30% increase. Optane isn't RAM or storage, it sits in between much like the fusion tech Apple came out with a few years ago. But Intel do have plans to make proper RAM & SSD variants of this tech in the near future. Haven't tried it myself yet so cant comment if its actually worth spending money on.
