Core Viewpoint - The CXL (Compute Express Link) market has not yet launched as expected, primarily due to the underperformance of key players like Samsung Electronics and Intel [1][3]. Group 1: Market Status - The CXL market is currently stagnant, with a notable lack of discussions surrounding it, attributed to the weak performance of market leaders Samsung and Intel [3]. - Intel's next-generation server CPU, "Diamond Rapids," which is crucial for CXL's market launch, may face delays due to internal restructuring and layoffs [3][4]. - Samsung is in a holding pattern, waiting for the market to open, as the development of CXL-compatible memory products cannot proceed without corresponding processors [4]. Group 2: Opportunities and Risks - The introduction of CXL may lead to a decline in overall sales of processors and memory, as it aims to utilize existing resources more efficiently, which could negatively impact companies reliant on these sales in the short term [6][7]. - However, CXL-compatible chips are high-value products that could improve the profit structure for both Samsung and Intel, aligning with the semiconductor industry's trend towards high-value offerings to avoid cyclical fluctuations and competition with low-cost manufacturers [7]. - The CXL market is expected to see significant growth by 2026, with hyperscale cloud service providers likely to dominate this market due to their need for improved resource utilization and cost savings [8][9].
