Meta and AMD have partnered to introduce a form of memory that can seamlessly integrate into servers using Compute Express Link (CXL) technology. By leveraging this standard for high speed connections between processors and devices CXL memory offers the potential for more efficient memory utilization resulting in cost savings and improved performance. During the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit 2023 a demo board was showcased featuring an AMD EPYC 9004 Genoa processor surrounded by four dual in line memory module (DIMM) slots, a heat sink and a fan. Notably the board included a PCIe x16 connector as reported by Serve the Home.
