This tiny chip could single-handedly solve the RAM shortage by allowing hyperscalers to reuse old DDR4 memory via CXL — and it comes with an extraordinary feature

Marvell Structera A CXL DDR4.

• Marvell Structera X 2404 allows the reuse of DDR4 without buying new DRAM
• Twelve DIMMs per controller deliver 1.5TB physical memory capacity
• Memory compression effectively doubles usable capacity using LZ4 at line rate

Hyper-scalers under pressure from rising memory prices could turn to decommissioned DDR4 modules as a practical resource.
