PCM to Micron is an existing product/design that is NOR-Flash like but utilizes PC material as the storage medium.

3D XPoint is said to be able to stack the storage medium on the die and requires no access transistor -- which "PCM" has. So it is based on PC material but has some new kind of selector.

The 3D/stacking part is important for scaling/density -- even NAND-Flash has hit 2d limits and gone vertical.
