Intel Optane Persistent Memory 300 Series "Crow Pass"

Engineering samples of Intel's unreleased Optane Persistent Memory 300 Series 'Crow Pass' modules have surfaced on eBay, with multiple active listings for the NMC2XAD512GQS part. The modules were part of Intel's final persistent memory roadmap before the company discontinued Optane, as detailed in leaked specifications reported by Tom's Hardware. Enthusiasts have previously built systems using earlier Optane persistent memory for large language model inference, suggesting potential interest in these samples.

So, I was wandering. around eBay looking at business surplus, as one does, and I found some engineering samples. https://www.ebay.com/itm/227477589287 https://www.ebay.com/itm/227477589287 https://www.ebay.com/itm/389501380837 https://www.ebay.com/itm/389501380837 Several active listings. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html? nkw=NMC2XAD512GQS https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html? nkw=NMC2XAD512GQS Some leaked specifications Optane's Last Gasp: Intel's Final Persistent Memory Roadmap Leaks | Tom's Hardware https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-optane-last-gasp I wonder what might have been.
