The new processors, which are due to come on stream in 2021, will enable a new epoch in chip-to-cloud architecture.
Interestingly, the move by Intel to establish the CXL consortium coincides with the creation of a rival alliance established by proponents of RISC-V, an open source architecture based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles.
