| Trend for memory continue to look good into 2022 |
1/21/2022 |
|
The need for more memory bandwidth will continue in 2022. Moreover, CXL-connected memory modules in various form factors such as E3.S, E1.S and PCIe AICs will start to be adopted and used for memory expansion and acceleration starting with data center and computing applications. Compute Express Link (CXL) is an open industry interconnect standard for providing high bandwidth and low latency. It also enables memory expansion and acceleration across high-performance computational workloads for AI, ML, HPC, and communications segments.
