  Really, Intel is not "that vendor" now. It is THE Vendor. FreeBSD has a LOT
of specialization for this vendor (all i386 code, NVMe, and other), and many
thing from Intel (or which becomes widespread in Intel-based systems, like
PCI, which is not exactly "from Intel", of course) becomes industrial
standard.

 I don't think such type of memory will be very-Intel-specific for long. HP
works on something comparable, and other companies too.
