Kioxia Holdings Corporation unveiled a new Compute Express Link (CXL) module using its high-speed XL-Flash NAND memory. The Tokyo announcement positions this module as a direct competitor to the DRAM market for artificial intelligence servers.

The solution potentially doubles memory capacity at the same cost as current DRAM configurations. It also improves performance by 30% compared to existing setups.

This initiative aims to capture rising demand from AI applications and expand Kioxia’s business beyond traditional NAND products. The company expects the move to stabilize its earnings base and strengthen ties with major U.S. technology firms.
