About MetisX (XCENA)
MetisX, now trading as XCENA, develops memory-centric computing based on CXL, a standard that lets processors share and expand memory over a fast link. The aim is to place some processing close to the memory so that less data must move across the system. Its first product is called MX1. The company is based in Seongnam, South Korea, and was founded in 2022.
MetisX (XCENA) was founded in 2022 and is based in Seongnam, South Korea. It is listed under In-Memory Computing, Memory & Storage, Interconnect & Networking. Reported funding is $44M Series A (2024); $100M Series B pending (Jan 2026).

What MetisX (XCENA) works on
In-Memory Computing
In-memory computing does calculations inside or right next to the memory that stores the data, instead of copying the data to a separate processor. It is also called processing-in-memory (PIM) or compute-in-memory.
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
Interconnect & Networking
Interconnect is the set of links that move data between chips, between boards and between racks. It includes wires on a package, cables inside a server, and the network switches and optical fibre across a data center. A processor is only as useful as the speed at which it can get data in and out.
