Marvell Unveils Second-generation Structera X, Industry-first Six-channel CXL 3.2 Memory Expanders for AI Inference

Jim Handy, General director of Objective Analysis

“CXL is starting to gain widespread adoption in AI systems since they reap strong benefits from its very high bandwidth and support of large memory sizes”

Jim Handy, General director of Objective Analysis

“In addition, today’s memory shortage and subsequent high prices are driving IT managers to use CXL to re-deploy used DDR4 DIMMs into DDR5 systems for immediate cost savings.”

Jim Handy, General director of Objective Analysis

“In the near future, these same managers will use CXL’s memory pools to reduce stranded memory and drive greater savings, and they will find controllers that offer compression, as this one does, to be even more interesting.”

Will Chu, Executive vice president and general manager, Custom Cloud Solutions at Marvell

“Marvell is the only provider with a complete end-to-end CXL portfolio spanning memory expansion (Structera X), near-memory acceleration (Structera A), and PFMA (Photonic Fabric™ Memory Appliance), pod-scale CXL memory-sharing appliance, giving customers a complete portfolio from direct-attach to disaggregated memory pooling”

Will Chu, Executive vice president and general manager, Custom Cloud Solutions at Marvell

“We are delivering industry-leading CXL controllers, co-developed with leading hyperscalers to address the most demanding AI infrastructure requirements.”

Raghu Nambiar, Corporate vice president, Data Center Ecosystems and Solutions, AMD

“AMD is advancing an open ecosystem that gives enterprises the freedom to build infrastructure around their evolving workloads.”
