AMD acquires MEXT to address growing memory constraints in the data center — memory tiering technology enables flash to appear as DRAM to applications

Summary

AMD announced the acquisition of MEXT, gaining its Predictive Memory Engine technology that offloads infrequently accessed data from DRAM to NAND storage. By enabling memory tiering, flash appears as DRAM to applications, alleviating memory constraints in data centers. This move strengthens AMD's competitiveness in the data center market, addressing growing memory demands from AI workloads.
