Micron Technology today announced that it is the first company in the industry to validate and ship 128GB DDR5 RDIMM memory based on a large-capacity 32Gb single DRAM chip, with speeds up to 5600MT/s on all major server platforms.

The 128GB DDR5 RDIMM uses Micron's industry-leading 1β (1-beta) process technology, which improves capacity density by more than 45%, improves energy efficiency by up to 22%, and reduces latency by up to 16% compared to competitors using 3DS through-silicon (TSV) technology.

This high speed memory module is specifically designed to meet the performance requirements of mission-critical applications common in data centers, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), high performance computing (HPC), in-memory database (IMDB), and scenarios that require efficient processing of multithreaded, multi-core general-purpose computing workloads.

It is reported that the Micron 128GB DDR5 RDIMM memory module has received strong ecological support, including AMD, HPE, Intel, Supermicro and many other companies. Praveen Vaidyanathan, vice president and general manager of Micron's computing Products business group, said that currently, AI servers can be equipped with Micron's 24Gb8-layer stacked HBM3E as GPU additional memory, and Micron's 128GB RDIMM as CPU additional memory. This provides the high-capacity, high-bandwidth, low-power infrastructure required for memory-intensive workloads.
