    On July 21, according to Fox News, senior US officials said that President Donald Trump is expected to decide within the next few days whether to expand military operations against Iran and resume full-scale combat. These officials emphasized that no final decision has been made yet. They stated that if Trump orders a resumption of full-scale military action, its scale and intensity would 'far exceed' the nine-night US airstrike campaign that began on July 7; the previous airstrikes mainly targeted Iranian military assets related to operations around the Strait of Hormuz.

    On July 20, according to South Korean tech media ZDNet Korea, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology have all scaled back or abandoned commercialization plans for CXL expansion device controllers.

This shift indicates a reshaping of the division of labor within the CXL ecosystem, where memory manufacturers will focus on production, while design leadership moves to independent chip design firms. For the capital market, this not only benefits relevant chip design companies but also means that the three major memory manufacturers will not engage in new competition around complete CXL solutions in the short term, with their core profit models still revolving around traditional DIMM memory products.
