Something I haven’t seen on these yet, I know the original Optane Cache was only supported by a few Intel chipsets. Is the 900p compatible with AMD platforms? Not seeing any compatibility documentation anywhere…

Sure there is; it’s been verified as PCM/chalcogenide based:

The theory is the secrecy is due to patents involving Energy Conversion Devices (ECD) which has been going through bankruptcy proceedings for years.
