Interop Testing with CXL 1.1 Host CPU’s and Popular DDR5 Memory Modules - asteralabs
Interop Testing with CXL 1.1 Host CPU’s and Popular DDR5 Memory Module

After establishing the foundation of our rigorous testing, we worked with our customers to determine the most popular memory configurations for their systems and applications, to which we’ve included in our initial interop reports. We include 64GB DDR5-4800 RDIMMs from Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix, each of which are tested with CXL 1.1-capable CPUs from AMD and Intel.
