Thanks for the link! The Blender benchmark is really telling. Using Optane M2 modules as a swap disk allowed to run a task that required 12GB on a system with 4 GB of RAM and it took just 1.8 more in time then the native RAM case. So I guess I can put those Optane modules into a laptop with 16GB of RAM and run a calculation that requires 64GB of memory and it will be much cheaper than a laptop with 64GB of RAM.

But what is the price difference between an Optane module and the equivalent size of RAM?
