Which Generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors Support Compute Express Link (CXL) and PCIe* 5.0?

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Summary

Validate Support for CXL and PCIe* 5.0 is available on Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.

Description
  • Unable to determine if Intel® Xeon® supports Compute Express Link (CXL) and PCIe* 5.0.
  • Need to build a heterogeneous memory system which needs CPI/CXL features to maintain cache coherence and fast virtual-to-physical address translation via TLB instead of software translation.
Resolution

Support for CXL and PCIe* 5.0 is available in the 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.
