# AMD Launches MEXT to Cut Server DRAM Costs

November 11, 2026 at 11:26 AM

> AMD's new MEXT solution uses Flash storage and AI to reduce DRAM usage by 75% while tripling memory capacity for EPYC CPU systems.

AMD has launched MEXT, a memory solution for EPYC CPUs that utilizes Flash storage to mitigate rising DRAM costs and supply constraints. With DRAM now exceeding $10 per GB and accounting for 75% of server costs, MEXT offloads cold memory pages to Flash drives.

The software uses the Double-Click AI Engine to address the 500x latency gap between Flash and DRAM. Running on a single EPYC core, this AI trains in under a second to optimize performance. MEXT can reduce DRAM usage by up to 75% while tripling memory capacity.

MEXT Phase 1 is now available for EPYC systems with NVMe. Testing shows a 3.4x performance-per-dollar increase in Agentic AI tasks. AMD projects an 83% cost saving over all-DRAM setups, potentially avoiding $4.9 million in costs for initial server deployments.
