Advancing server memory performance
Rambus enables DDR5 RDIMMs for server main memory running at up to 6400 MT/s for future server platforms.
Rambus has introduced its new 6400 MT/s DDR5 Registering Clock Driver (RCD) and sampling to the major DDR5 memory module (RDIMM) manufacturers. With a 33% increase in data rate and bandwidth over Gen1 4800 MT/s solutions, the Rambus Gen3 6400 MT/s DDR5 RCD is said to enable a new level of main memory performance for data center servers. It is also said to deliver industry-leading latency and power, offering optimized timing parameters for improved RDIMM margins.
"Data center workloads have an insatiable thirst for greater memory bandwidth and capacity, and our mission is to advance the performance of server memory solutions that meet this need for each new server platform generation,” said Sean Fan, chief operating officer at Rambus. “We were first in the industry to 5600 MT/s, and now we have raised the bar with our Gen3 DDR5 RCD capable of 6400 MT/s to support a new generation of RDIMMs for server main memory.”
"DDR5 offers tremendous performance enhancements for computing systems," said Soo-Kyoum Kim, vice president, memory semiconductors at IDC. "As data center applications accelerate demand for more and more memory bandwidth, it is critical that the DDR5 ecosystem extends performance for the fundamental needs of next-generation data centers."
