The CXL Consortium™ Primed to Make a Big Impact at 2020 Industry Events

By Scott Knowlton


This March marks the first anniversary of the public debut for the CXL Consortium™– launched to advance the Compute Express Link™ (CXL) standard. This new high-speed CPU-to-Device and CPU-to-Memory interconnect accelerates next-generation data center performance. Since the release of the CXL 1.1 specification, we have been making headline news in several prominent publications such as Forbes, AnandTech, SDxCentral, VentureBeat, and more.


Participating and speaking at industry events is important for the Consortium as we continue to grow and develop this industry open standard interface for high-speed communications. It also provides a platform to share CXL technologies and liaise with the greater community to explore strategic partnerships.
