Some technologies experience stunning breakthroughs every year. In memory, it can be decades between major milestones. Burroughs invented magnetic memory in 1952 so ENIAC wouldn’t lose time pulling data from punch cards. In the 1970s DRAM replaced magnetic memory while in the 2010s, HBM arrived.

Compute Express Link (CXL) represents the next big step forward. CXL devices essentially take advantage of available PCIe interfaces to open an additional conduit that complements the overtaxed memory bus. That means more lanes, more data movement, and more performance.
