AMD is acquiring MEXT and its memory optimization technology, as part of a bid to address a critical constraint for AI deployments.
MEXT has developed innovative AI-powered predictive memory technology designed to make flash behave more like DRAM, helping expand usable memory capacity while maintaining performance and efficiency. This approach has the potential to reduce infrastructure costs, improve resource utilization, and help customers more effectively scale general-purpose and AI workloads.
Founded in 2023, MEXT launched its memory tech in April of this year, claiming its Predictive Memory software is capable of cutting infrastructure costs by 50% and expanding usable memory capacity by 2-4x.
By integrating MEXT's technology across the AMD data center portfolio, the company said it believes it can help customers get more from their infrastructure investments while accelerating AI deployment.
