Rambus has just released the 4th generation RCD (Registered Clock Driver) for DDR5 memory, supporting speeds up to 7200MT/s, bringing a huge improvement to data centers. Rambus also confirmed that its 4th generation RCD for DDR5 memory modules (especially RDIMM) has begun sampling to customers this quarter, and it can be expected that upcoming data center CPUs and server platforms will take full advantage of these faster modules, with a 50% increase in bandwidth compared to the 1st generation RCD that supports 4800MT/s speeds.
Next year's two major server platforms include Intel's Granite Rapids and AMD's Turin, so we're looking forward to seeing these modules in action.
RambusGen4RCD increases data transfer rates to 7200MT/s, setting a new benchmark for performance, increasing memory bandwidth by 50% over current 4800MT/s DDR5 module solutions. It enables rapid increases in server main memory performance to meet the demands of generative artificial intelligence and other advanced data center workloads.
"Memory is a critical driver of server performance, and the need for greater memory bandwidth continues to rise dramatically, driven by demanding workloads such as generative artificial intelligence," said Sean Fan, chief operating officer at Rambus. "RambusGen4DDR5RCD is the latest demonstration of our commitment to delivering products that are ahead of market demand to support our customers' current and planned server platforms."
RambusDDR5 memory interface chips including RCD, serial presence detection (SPD) hub and temperature sensor are very important to improve the performance level of servers. Rambus is known for its Signal Integrity (SI)/Power Integrity (PI) expertise. This expertise helps implement DDR5 memory interface chips that provide performance and reliability for data center server RDIMMs.
