Intel reveals system requirements for Optane storage

Why?

Why can this not be used with gen 6 or AMD cpu's?

Is that by design perhaps? Do they plan on adding MS 10 as a requirement as well?
 
/prognostication hat on

With Ryzen set to launch later this month, Intel needed a reason to keep potential buyers on the Intel platform. Straight performance comparisons are not looking good for Kaby Lake against Ryzen so Intel is throwing in Optane as a Kaby-Coffee Lake sweetener.

/hat off

It maybe something like that though the on the other hand, no-one actually knows anything about Optane's performance or cost. Bit hard to use it as a counter-argument to the Ryzen platform when no-one knows what it means to an end-user. DRAM-like latencies for non-volatile storage sounds amazing but what does it mean real-world?
