The exciting thing about CXL is we can start to find out if peripheral or hopefully close-networked computing fabrics can be useful & interesting, beyond the small circumstances Nvidia will offer. Having an ecosystem that everyone can participate in will let us explore. Money can't buy that. Talent can't buy that. You need to socialize to really find out the possible values.

'The street finds it's own uses for things' is the well known Gibson adage, I and typically it's a comment aimed low. But our entire era of amazing computing began with the Gang of Nine enabling lowness in a degree such that it quickly became the highest tech, the best. Sure you can still buy a mainframe & they have amazing feats but it's not where the value is, but and the value is where it is because possibility was unchained, I unleashed from corporate dominion, and spread wide. I think we can find amazing new futures with CXL & mad bandwidth connectivity.
