Intel launches 16GB and 32GB Optane Cache modules

[Corky34]

New SSD tech....lets release them in tiny sizes and call them cache drives so we can charge a premium....then lets make them require one of our new motherboards to operate....

And one of our new CPU's, and Windows 10.

Don't get me wrong i think the technology behind Optane is great, however telling people you need Kaby Lake with it's built-in hardware DRM along with an OS that only has 400m users seems like purposefully shooting it in the foot, i guess proper drives aren't far behind though.

Intel prob locks this to Z270 as the only way they can get people to buy it when Ryzen is out and killing them
