Provides data center architects early path to next-generation memory
speeds
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced functional silicon of a double
data rate (DDR) server DIMM (dual inline memory module) buffer chipset
prototype for the next-generation DDR5 memory technology. This
represents a key milestone for Rambus as the industry’s first
silicon-proven memory buffer chip prototype capable of achieving the
speeds required for the upcoming DDR5 standard.
“Data-intensive applications like Big Data analytics and machine
learning will be key drivers for the adoption of DDR5, with enterprise
close behind,” said Luc Seraphin, senior vice president and general
manager of the Rambus Memory and Interfaces Division. “We are proud to
provide an early path to adoption with the first working buffer chip
prototype running at the anticipated performance of next-generation
DDR5. This demonstrates our continued dedication to be first to market
and remain on the leading edge of industry standards.”
According to JEDEC, next-generation DDR5 memory will offer improved
performance and power efficiency, providing double the bandwidth and
density over DDR4. With that, server DIMM chipsets, like registered
clock drivers and data buffers, will be critical to enabling higher
memory capacities while maintaining peak performance. This Server DIMM
chip prototype leverages the signal integrity and low-power,
mixed-signal design expertise of Rambus to enable development of
next-generation solutions for future data center workloads.
