JEDEC is Preparing New Raw Card DIMM Designs with DDR5 Clock Drivers for Improved Performance and Stability at 6400 Mbps and Beyond

JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in standards development for the microelectronics industry, today announced upcoming raw card designs currently in development in JEDEC's JC-45 Committee for DRAM Modules in collaboration with the JC-40 and JC-42 Committees. These raw card memory device standards are intended for use in client computing applications such as laptops and desktops and will be supported by related appendix specifications. The forthcoming raw cards will also complement two DDR5 Clock Driver standards published earlier this year: JESD323: DDR5 Clocked Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Module (CUDIMM) Common Specification and JESD324: DDR5 Clocked Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (CSODIMM) Common Specification.

Integrating a Clock Driver (CKD) into a DDR5 DIMM provides numerous advantages, particularly in memory stability and performance, and enhances signal integrity and reliability at high speeds. By regenerating the clock signal locally on the DIMM, a CKD ensures stable operation even at elevated clock speeds. With a DDR5 CKD, DIMM data rates can be increased from 6400 Mbps to 7200 Mbps in the initial version of the standard, and targeting up to 9200 Mbps in future versions.

Micron Unveils New CUDIMM and CSODIMM DDR5 Memory With Speeds up to 6,400 MT/s

Micron Technology, Inc., today announced the availability of a brand-new category of clock driver memory with the launch of its Crucial DDR5 clocked unbuffered dual inline memory modules (CUDIMM) and clocked small outline dual memory modules (CSODIMM), which are now shipping in volume. The JEDEC-standard solutions run at speeds up to 6,400 MT/s (megatransfers per second), more than twice as fast as DDR4 and 15% faster than traditional non-clock-driver-based DDR5. Designed to provide more speed stability, faster downloads and better refresh rates, these solutions represent a completely new frontier of memory form factors for next-generation PCs. Micron's CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions are the industry's first commercially available JEDEC-standard DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions to hit the market since JEDEC standardized the specification earlier this year.

In addition, Intel has validated Micron DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions up to capacities of 64 gigabytes (GB) for use with its Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2), which were launched last week on Oct. 10.

AMD EPYC "Turin" with 192 Cores and 384 Threads Delivers Almost 40% Higher Performance Than Intel Xeon 6

AMD has unveiled its latest EPYC processors, codenamed "Turin," featuring Zen 5 and Zen 5C dense cores. Phoronix's thorough testing reveals remarkable advancements in performance, efficiency, and value. The new lineup includes the EPYC 9575F (64-core), EPYC 9755 (128-core), and EPYC 9965 (192-core) models, all showing impressive capabilities across various server and HPC workloads. In benchmarks, a dual-socket configuration of the 128-core EPYC 9755 Turin outperformed Intel's dual Xeon "Granite Rapids" 6980P setup with MRDIMM-8800 by 40% in the geometric mean of all tests. Surprisingly, even a single EPYC 9755 or EPYC 9965 matched the dual Xeon 6980P in expanded tests with regular DDR5-6400. Within AMD's lineup, the EPYC 9755 showed a 1.55x performance increase over its predecessor, the 96-core EPYC 9654 "Genoa". The EPYC 9965 surpassed the dual EPYC 9754 "Bergamo" by 45%.

These gains come with improved efficiency. While power consumption increased moderately, performance improvements resulted in better overall efficiency. For example, the EPYC 9965 used 32% more power than the EPYC 9654 but delivered 1.55x the performance. Power consumption remains competitive: the EPYC 9965 averaged 275 Watts (peak 461 Watts), the EPYC 9755 averaged 324 Watts (peak 500 Watts), while Intel's Xeon 6980P averaged 322 Watts (peak 547 Watts). AMD's pricing strategy adds to the appeal. The 192-core model is priced at $14,813, compared to Intel's 128-core CPU at $17,800. This competitive pricing, combined with superior performance per dollar and watt, has resonated with hyperscalers. Estimates suggest 50-60% of hyperscale deployments now use AMD processors.

Kingston FURY DDR5 CAMM2 Module, FURY Renegade, and FURY Beast Memory Products at Computex 2024

Kingston at the 2024 Computex showed us their latest gaming and overclocking PC memory products, under its FURY brand. The star attraction here, is the FURY Impact DDR5 CAMM2 module. Kingston is partnering with MSI to bring this standard to the gaming PC space, as part of its new Project Zero ecosystem. A DDR5 CAMM2 is basically a dual-channel (4 sub-channel) DDR5 memory-on-a-stick. The module has wiring for both the channels and all four sub-channels, and a total of two ranks (1R/DPC). The module sits on a land-grid, just like the processor, and is held in place by a series of screws. When installed, a CAMM2 looks a lot more discreet than a bunch of DIMMs that stick out perpendicularly to the plane of the motherboard.

Kingston DDR5 CAMM2 will come in typical dual-channel capacities, such as 32 GB; with typical speeds. The CAMM2 standard was originally designed for mainstream notebooks and mini-PC desktops, but MSI adapted it to an ATX desktop motherboard with its Project Zero backside connectivity. Next up, we have the FURY Renegade RGB DDR5 series, with its high DDR5 speeds, and plenty of RGB bling. Densities range between 16 GB (1x 16 GB) to 96 GB (2x 48 GB), with popular densities along the way, such as 2x 16 GB, and 2x 24 GB. Speeds range between DDR5-6000, all the way till DDR5-8000 (with XMP 3.0).

Biwin Brings New PC Memory and Flash Storage Lineup Under its Own Brand to Computex

Biwin is a licensee of SSDs, PC memory, and flash storage products for some for the biggest PC brands out there, including Acer and HP. This year, the company decided to launch a whole product stack under its own brand, so it could sell to the retail channel directly.

Let's start our tour with them: the company showed us an Acer Predator Hera memory kit with 48 GB (2x 24 GB), which does an impressive DDR5-8000, at 40-48-48-128, and 1.35 V. The kit includes a DDR5-8000 @ 1.35 V XMP. The module features a mirror-finish metal heat spreader, and an RGB illuminated top. There are also 32 GB (2x 16 GB) kits in the series that go up to DDR5-8200.

Biwin's own first-party brand isn't too far behind the Predator Hera, the company showed us the Biwin (Editor's note: Wookong is local for Asia and will not be part of international branding) DW100 RGB, a high-end memory series, with kit capacities ranging from 32 GB (2x 16 GB) to 64 GB (2x 32 GB), speeds ranging from DDR5-6000 to DDR5-8200, and vDIMM going up to 1.45 V on the top-spec kit. There's also the DX100, which trades a little bit of performance for a more elaborate RGB LED setup. It comes in capacities up to 64 GB (2x 32 GB), and speeds of up to DDR5-8000. The HX100 is the mid-range kit, it lacks any lighting, capacities range up to 64 GB, and speeds of up to DDR5-7200. The timings aren't as tight as the ones on the DX100. Biwin also has a DDR5 LPCAMM2, with capacities of up to 64 GB, and speeds of up to 9600 MT/s. Most of Biwin's DRAM products launch in July 2024.
