The map still shows a hole where a clean CXL pure-play should be. Astera Labs comes closest among US names, yet its durability is the PCIe leg — one customer topped 70% of 2025 revenue. Marvell's CXL slice is under 5%. Montage is the truest controller play but China-listed and access-gated. Intel and AMD fold me into CPUs with no breakout revenue. Memory vendors take the DRAM pool but it's commoditizing and one is in-sourcing controllers. Research states flatly: no clean, durable, listed pure-play on me exists.
