SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has completed customer validation of 96 GB CMM (CXL Memory Module) - DDR5, a DRAM solution product based on CXL 2.0. The company said that it can process 36 GB/s due to a 50% increase in capacity when the product is applied to the server systems and a 30% improvement in the bandwidth compared to previous DDR5 modules. This can contribute to drastically reducing the total cost of ownership by customers in building and operating data centers.
Following the 96 GB product validation, the company is proceeding with the validation process for 128 GB product with another customer. This product, equipped with 32 Gb DDR5 DRAM using the 1bnm process, or the fifth-generation of the 10-nanometer technology, has high performance per watt. The company plans to complete the ongoing 128 GB validation as soon as possible to establish a CXL product portfolio to support customers in a timely manner. SK hynix is making efforts to expand the CXL ecosystem along with the development of CXL DRAM. The company developed HMSDK, software optimized for CMM-DDR5 and integrated it on Linux, the world's largest open-source operating system, in September, improving the performance of CXL applied systems.
"We are developing various solution products to fulfill Optimal Innovation in order to overcome the limitation of high cost and scalability of the existing system," said Uksong Kang, Head of Next Gen PP&E. "We will provide optimized value to customers by dramatically improving the scalability and the flexibility of memory while meeting customers' different needs."
