Although x86 servers have some configuration and expansion options, they are increasingly monolithic, putting customers at the whim of the system vendor. CXL promises to change this, allowing customers to configure, and reconfigure, servers according to their needs. On this episode of Utilizing CXL, Ryan Baxter of Micron Technology joins Stephen Foskett and Nathan Bennett to talk about the options that CXL brings to the table. One of the first benefits of CXL technology is memory expansion, allowing servers to be created with exactly the right amount of memory instead of over-populating memory to fill channels and meet needs. But it will soon allow truly modular servers with exactly the right combination of CPU, memory, storage, and I/O.
