A STATEMENT FROM GEN-Z LEADERSHIP
As announced in November, 2021, the CXL Consortium and Gen-Z Consortium have identified synergies between the two consortia that resulted in the signing of a Letter of Intent that has allowed us to explore the transfer of Gen-Z Specifications and all other assets to the CXL Consortium for hosting and future management.
At the start of 2022, both parties agreed to the terms of the transfer and on January 28, 2022, the members of the Gen-Z Consortium concurred that the asset transfer and Consortium dissolution was the appropriate next step.
Upon completion of the asset transfer, the Gen-Z Consortium will begin finalizing operations.
Gen-Z Consortium Member companies will be contacted in the coming days by Gen-Z Admin with details on their specific membership benefits related to the agreement with CXL.
Questions regarding the industry efforts related to the development of a memory coherent interface under the CXL Consortium, please contact press@computeexpresslink.org.
The Gen-Z Consortium leadership extends its profound gratitude to its members and supporters for five incredible years helping to drive the industry ecosystem to achieve our original mission and goals. We are excited for what the future brings!
