Abstract
After over a decade of researcher anticipation for the arrival of persistent memory (PMem), the first shipments of 3D XPoint-based Intel Optane Memory in 2019 were quickly followed by its cancellation in 2022. Was this another case of an idea quickly fading from future to past tense, relegating work in this area to the graveyard of failed technologies?
