128 GB DDR4 => ~3K USD
It means that Intel can easily charge 1.5K USD for 128GB 3DXP DIMM, 4K for 256 GB and as much as they want for 512 GB.
That is, if both write speed and endurance is good.
How good is good? I don't know.
Let's say 5 GB/s and 50 PBW for 128 GB DIMMS, 5 GB/s and 120 PBW for 256 GB DIMM.
