Memory scarcity is driving hyperscaler adoption of Marvell's CXL memory-expansion silicon 'in extremely high volumes', with new design wins
“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... We're seeing this technology now getting deployed at multiple hyperscalers... in extremely high volumes... We've actually secured additional design wins in this area in the last couple of quarters.”
Why it matters
First-party confirmation that DRAM/HBM shortage is pushing hyperscalers toward CXL memory expansion as a workaround — a second-order consequence of the memory supply squeeze that is generating real design wins now.
Investment implication
Bullish for MRVL's CXL business and supports the broader memory-scarcity thesis (positive for Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung pricing power); watch for the memory-expansion deep dive at Marvell's Oct 6 investor day.
