Micron samples 256GB DDR5 RDIMM for AI, 40% faster & more efficient
AI Summary
Micron Technology announced it has sampled 256GB DDR5 registered dual in-line memory modules (RDIMM) to key server ecosystem enablers. Built on 1-gamma technology, these modules offer speeds up to 9,200 MT/s, over 40% faster than current volume production modules. The new RDIMMs utilize advanced 3D stacking and through-silicon vias (TSVs) to provide the capacity, speed, and power efficiency needed for next-generation AI systems, reducing operating power by over 40% compared to two 128GB modules.
