Optane is promoted as main memory in laptops

It is no surprise that Intel is not an example of fair play, in the past the company was accused of unethical practices against its rivals, and now they take a new step by promoting Optane as the main memory of the teams.

Optane is counted as the main memory of computers when they are sold, that they do not give you a cat for hare

Some of Intel's main partners, such as Dell and HP, are promoting their PCs with Optane memory as part of the main memory, that is, computers with 8 GB of RAM and a 16 GB Optane module are sold as computers. with a total of 24 GB of memory, an example of misleading advertising. Obviously Optane has nothing to do with RAM, because these 16 GB modules are still a cache to accelerate the loading of data from the hard disk.

It may be legal, but there is no doubt that it is a very unethical practice to try to deceive less experienced users, because going to the MediaMarkt and seeing a laptop with 24 GB of memory is something very striking when next to you have an AMD computer with only 8 GB of memory.

One more example of Intel's little taste for fair play, because knowing the company, it has surely put pressure on its partners to promote their teams with Optane in this way. In this situation it is best that all users are perfectly informed, in this way they will know what is in front of them when they go to buy a new PC and they will not be fooled.
