A resourceful user was able to turn the tiny 3D cache memory built by AMD in its latest consumer processors into a secondary, albeit puny storage unit....
Cool, but for 99.9% of people, completely useless.
You’ve got to do something with that data. And that turns out to be a pretty darn difficult problem. Even at regular NVMe speeds, developers have to pay very careful attention to performance, and often make the right design decisions (like choosing the right compression algorithms).
Because otherwise you might go with something like LZMA, which is an okay choice for a hard disk, but will absolutely become a huge bottleneck on a NVMe, nevermind this.

Not enough 9s. Heck, I think it’s a true 100%, but it’s still cool.
