> The only reason a CXL Optane didn't happen is because CXL wasn't going to magically make Optane profitable.

What confuses me is that the PCIe Optane drives launched at $4/GB and the second generation was only $2.30/GB on the biggest model.

Those prices gave those drives plenty of price advantage over DRAM. Was that all being sold at a massive loss? Why was DIMM Optane so much more expensive, and would CXL Optane have to be the same price?
