Intel gave up on further development but indeed they could license out their technology to others - and there would have to be some other company seeing potential profit in it, and picking it up.True.
It's a shame the best never became successful. I know its only a guess, but, I do think had Intel held on and produced one more generation, and other companies licensed the tech from Intel, we would have the next generation xpoint today. Can you imagine how fast it would be now? It was stable, extremely high reliability, and fastest made to date. Granted price was high, but so was nand.
I think Intel coudn't find a way to builld Xpoint memory chips in (many) layers - and others (Hynix, Samsung) who dissected Intel's chips didn't think they could find a way, either. Even if they could obtain the license.
But the multi-layer manufacturing is advancing, there's a lot of research going on, I'm optimistic about DRAM too and I think we may see mass-produced DRAM chips in 3-4 years. Maybe, just maybe, those yellow and green blocks will get another chance around 2030.
