Memory scarcity is pushing hyperscalers toward CXL memory expansion and near-memory compute, boosting Marvell's XPU-attach content
“As a result of the scarcity that's out there in memory, customers are modifying and adjusting their plans to actually use more of this type of technology. So this is continuing that strong upward bias. We've actually secured additional design wins in this area in the last couple of quarters.”
Why it matters
This is direct first-party evidence that DRAM/HBM scarcity is changing hyperscaler architectures, accelerating CXL memory-expansion deployments and near-memory compute — increasing silicon content per XPU beyond the accelerator itself.
Investment implication
Supports the thesis of sustained memory pricing strength (positive for HBM/DRAM suppliers) while creating a parallel silicon opportunity in memory interconnect; Marvell's CXL wins suggest attach-content growth that custom-silicon bulls should model into FY28-29 estimates.
