luckily this isnt supported by my xeon 6148

A great way to convince yourself you don't need it!
Only Cascade Lake is supported (Xeon X2XX). NOT Skylake (Xeon X1XX), as mentioned several times.
@Bert DM me if you want to get rid of it for the original price. I have Cascade Lakes...
It's not breaking compatibility, because Cascade Lake came AFTER Skylake
As far as I know, it was planned to release Optane DCPMM with Skylake and the foundations were there, but somehow there were silicon bugs
I also have the Intel Xeon 6148 CPU. As per the intel specifications page, Intel Optane Memory is not supported: Intel® Xeon® Gold 6148 Processor (27.5M Cache, 2.40 GHz) - Product Specifications | Intel
Wow I was about to get one of them. Does 10900x support optane?
This is such confusing product support, no wonder optane failed.
No. Not Optane DCPMM.
Not at all, it's pretty simple:
Optane 100: ONLY Cascade Lake Xeons (although not on Bronze and Silver I think)
Optane 200: ONLY Ice Lake Xeons
There's no point to list CPU's it does not work on, there are MANY MANY more of those than what it does work on.
Do you have Scaleable XEON Gen2? or Gen3? If YES, check these lists.
If NO, you're out of luck, they do not work.

Is there a reverse list where we can find the compatible Optane series for a given cpu?There's no point to list CPU's it does not work on, there are MANY MANY more of those than what it does work on.

check intel ark for cpu model
2nd gen scalables(not all models) 100 series
3rd gen scalables(not all models) 200 series
whats the use case for them, can they be used as ESXi datastores or something else thats useful?
Never ever touched ESXi. Can't speak for it. Using them as read cache and vm storage for ZFS under GlusterFS and for testing as Intel CAS cache under MooseFS and BeeGeeFS. It's convenient to have an Optane drive just sitting in Ram slots I would not use otherwise without being forced to use pci adapter with extra cabling or expansive N-backplanes. Could also think of db storage, vm storage or any other storage. Know someone using them as temp scratch drive. But someone needs to be aware that these are in the most performant mode set up as 'interleave' which is kind of Raid0. But even as 'not-interleave' performance is superior in 99% use case excluding NVDimm-N not set up as simple block device.
Edit: Just forgot to use them as cheap additional ram. Where do u get 512GB ram for ~100EUR? But then I would recommend min 256GB ram already installed at minimum.
