Gen-Z (consortium)

Gen-Z
Year created	2016
Created by	Gen-Z Consortium

The Gen-Z Consortium is a trade group of technology vendors involved in designing CPUs, random access memory, servers, storage, and accelerators. The goal was to design an open and royalty-free "memory-semantic" bus protocol, which is not limited by the memory controller of a CPU, to be used in either a switched fabric or a point-to-point device link on a standard connector.^[1]

In November 2021, the GenZ Consortium voted to transfer all its specifications and intellectual property to the CXL Consortium.^[2]
