50–70% of memory chips this year go to data centers. Supermicro’s Michael McNerney explains how CXL memory expansion lets operators reclaim DRAM from decommissioned servers — adding capacity, stretching scarce HBM, and breaking the full-system refresh cycle.
Building More with Less: How to Navigate the Memory Chip Shortage

Schontek observation
The practical question for a buyer sourcing supply and lead-time parts is what this changes about ordering today.
No specific orderable part number is named, so we would treat this as direction signal only and confirm the affected parts from the manufacturer announcement before quoting anything.
The checkable figures in this report (50%, 70%) are the ones worth re-verifying against the datasheet, since pricing and lead time conversations turn on them.
Schontek holds independent stock and cross-references parts that go on allocation; send us a part number and we will confirm availability and delivery from our own position, not from this article.

Market context is useful. A specific answer is better. Availability and delivery terms are confirmed per RFQ.
