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

AMD has acquired MEXT, a startup focused on memory tiering technology that uses AI to offload infrequently accessed data from DRAM to NAND flash storage. The technology, called Predictive Memory Engine, aims to reduce DRAM requirements and effectively double virtual memory capacity in data centers.
