It'll be interesting to see how CXL shakes out. It might end up being not much more than cross socket access! 150ns to go between sockets is about what we see here & is in the realm of what CXL had been promising.

Having a super short lightweight protocol like CXL.mem to talk over such fast fabric has so much killer potential.

These graphs are always such a delight to see. It's a network map, of how well connected cores are, and they reveal so many particular advantages and diaadvantages of the greater systems architecture.

Back in the days before Oracle, Sun would sell you a dual socket Opteron desktop and you could add your own FPGA right on the hypertransport in the second socket.

Exciting to see that capability becoming more standardized with CXL.

Edit: phrasing.

I, too, am excited for CXL. Not enough people got to _feel_ the awesome of pmem. I think if more people had, pmem would be in all our laptops, desktops, servers.
