Intel Optane?

I'm confused, apparently it's not an SSD and it's not RAM but an in between? Is it like a super fast page file replacement? But it's also only compatible with 7th Gen +?

Just been to Canary Wharf and Intel's Innovation Labs. Saw some Optane in use on a laptop. Very fast, speeds up your laptop twice as fast to boot and load up anything

Can't imagine it my laptop boots 5 seconds. Can't I stuff some optane in it ? Sounds like a hybrid SSD, SSD drive? Like SSD with super fast SSD cache ?
