AMD•AMD•AMD has acquired MEXT, a specialist in AI-driven memory optimization technology, on undisclosed financial terms to strengthen its data centre offerings. MEXT’s Predictive Memory software can expand usable memory capacity by 2–4× and cut infrastructure costs by up to 50% without hardware or OS changes.
AMD announced the acquisition of MEXT, a startup focused on AI-driven memory optimization, with financial terms remaining confidential. The deal adds MEXT’s team and technology to AMD’s data centre portfolio to address growing memory constraints in AI and high-performance computing workloads.
MEXT’s flagship software uses AI models to offload inactive memory pages to flash and preemptively restore critical pages to DRAM, boosting effective memory capacity by two to four times. The solution requires no changes to existing hardware, operating systems, or applications, and operates on a single CPU core without GPU dependency.
With DRAM costs rising and memory demands surging, AMD aims to offer enterprise and cloud customers a software-only path to enhanced performance per dollar and operational efficiency. Integration of Predictive Memory is expected to accelerate large-scale AI deployments by relieving critical memory bottlenecks.
By embedding MEXT’s technology, AMD differentiates its data centre offerings against competitors relying solely on hardware upgrades. The acquisition may strengthen AMD’s positioning in AI infrastructure and help capture increased market share as data centre operators seek cost-effective memory scaling solutions.
