128GB CXL DRAM based mostly on superior CXL 2.0 interface to be mass produced this 12 months, accelerating commercialization of next-generation reminiscence options

Samsung will proceed collaborating with world knowledge middle, server and chipset firms to bolster CXL ecosystem

 

Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor know-how, as we speak introduced its growth of the business’s first 128-gigabyte (GB) DRAM to help Compute Categorical Hyperlink™ (CXL™) 2.0. Samsung labored carefully with Intel on this landmark development on an Intel® Xeon® platform.

 

Constructing on its growth of the business’s first CXL 1.1-based CXL DRAM in Might of 2022, Samsung’s introduction of the 128GB CXL DRAM based mostly on CXL 2.0 is anticipated to speed up commercialization of next-generation reminiscence options. The brand new CXL DRAM helps PCle 5.0 interface (x8 lanes) and offers bandwidth of as much as 35GB per second.

 

“As a member of the CXL Consortium Board of Administrators, Samsung Electronics stays on the forefront of CXL know-how,” mentioned Jangseok Choi, vp of New Enterprise Planning Crew at Samsung Electronics. “This breakthrough growth underlines our dedication to increasing the CXL ecosystem even additional by way of partnerships with knowledge middle, server and chipset firms throughout the business.”

 

“Intel is delighted to work with Samsung on their funding in the direction of a vibrant CXL ecosystem, mentioned Jim Pappas, director of Know-how Initiatives at Intel Company. Intel will proceed to work with Samsung to foster the expansion and adoption of revolutionary CXL merchandise all through the business.”

 

“Montage is happy to mass produce the primary controllers to help CXL 2.0,” mentioned Stephen Tai, president of Montage Know-how. “We look ahead to persevering with our partnership with Samsung to advance CXL know-how and increase its ecosystem.”

 

For the primary time ever, CXL 2.0 helps reminiscence pooling — a reminiscence administration method that binds a number of CXL reminiscence blocks on a server platform to type a pool and allows hosts to dynamically allocate reminiscence from the pool as wanted. The brand new know-how permits clients to maximise effectivity whereas decreasing working prices, which can in flip assist clients reinvest assets into reinforcing their server reminiscence.

 

Samsung plans to begin mass producing CXL 2.0 DRAM later this 12 months and is poised to ship extra choices in varied capacities to handle demand for future computing functions.

 

CXL is a next-generation interface that provides effectivity to accelerators, DRAM and storage gadgets used with CPUs in high-performance server programs. On condition that its bandwidth and capability might be expanded when used with the principle DRAM, the know-how’s development is anticipated to make waves throughout the next-generation computing market, the place key applied sciences equivalent to synthetic intelligence (AI) and machine studying (ML) have led to a fast rise in demand for high-speed knowledge processing.
