I presume you mean pci-express (PCIe) ram? "epci" is not a name I've ever seen before, to my recall.
CXL should be a generic improvement over PCIe period, for (nearly) all applications, including attached storage and/or ram. It has simpler protocols, designed for lower latency. It has more capabilities: it can be switched, so that multiple hosts can either switch between or simultaneously share a device.
Samsung already has a device using an ASIC for attaching DRAM over CXL[1].
