AMD Acquires MEXT, a Startup Developing Memory Optimization Software for AI Workloads
Advanced Micro Devices acquired MEXT, a startup developing AI-driven software that optimizes NAND flash memory usage in data centers. The technology aims to reduce the need for expensive DRAM by up to half and expand usable memory capacity two to four times. While this could impact companies like Micron Technology (MU) and Sandisk (SNDK), it primarily affects general-purpose AI workloads rather than high-performance training or inference.
