Stop trying to make excuses and cover for Dell. They are being completely dishonest by calling that 24gb of memory. Why should I trust reviewers on small details when they won't even call companies out on obvious BS.
1. I think Dell is wrong to advertise Optane this way.
2. I think that this is purely marketing, and nobody in their right mind would explain Optane in this manner outside of a marketing context.
3. I don't think Dell or Intel are trying to be evil, keeping in mind that marketing for any company is usually about pushing the boundaries of the truth, but Dell needs to change this strategy because it's not following the standard definition of what consumers have long understood to be "memory."
Without putting words in my colleagues' mouths, my understanding based on our conversation was that four out of the five of us generally hold this view, while Josh made his case for why he thinks Dell's strategy is appropriate for the target market of this product.
I can't imagine that a company allegeldly influencing shills to "cover" and "make excuses" for them would be happy with this assessment.
Optane is worse than VRAM and noone sums both.
