According to the International Data Corporation's (IDC)
2015 Worldwide DRAM Demand and Supply 1Q15-4Q16 and 2015-2019 analysis,
which was led by Mario Morales, vice president of the semiconductors
research program, the average DRAM capacity per server is projected to
more than double in the next three years with penetration of DDR4 in the
server market reaching 100 percent by 2019.
"Data centers and enterprise markets are under increased pressure to
implement enhanced memory architectures that meet the capacity and
bandwidth requirements to handle large amounts of complex data," said
Patrick Moorhead, president of Moor Insights & Strategy. "Rambus' deep
expertise in advanced memory designs makes them the newcomer to watch in
the server memory chipset market."
Features and Functionality
The RB26 DDR4 RDIMM and LRDIMM chipset includes a DDR4 Register Clock
Driver (RCD) and Data Buffer (DB) that feature:
-
JEDEC DDR4 Compliance: fully-compliant with the latest JEDEC
DDR4 RCD and DB specifications at 2666 Mbps with built-in support for
future data rates;
-
Industry-leading Performance and Margin: advanced I/O
programmability and power management techniques allow for broad
compatibility and increased efficiency in critical server
infrastructures; and
-
Advanced Debug and Serviceability: integrated tools and added
device flexibility provide a robust system while delivering
ease-of-integration and enhanced testability for server OEMs.
Product Availability
RB26 is currently sampling to key potential customers and critical
ecosystem partners. This chipset includes a roadmap with value-added
features to support further improvements to system performance and
