Rambus RMBS introduced the Gen4 DDR5 Registering Clock Driver (RCD) with data rate capabilities of up to 7200 MT/s. The company has leveraged its three decades of experience in delivering the new DDR5 that outranks its predecessors running at 4800 MT/s.
The chipset performs seamlessly on Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) while enabling substantial memory augmentation. Together with Rambus’ other innovative components integrated into Server DDR5 Registered DIMMs, the Gen4 DDR5 RCD enhances bandwidth, performance and capacity. It can also be integrated into Non-volatile Memory DIMMs with a similar effect.
The recently introduced chipset is rolled out in the market with the aim to support the rising demands of generative artificial intelligence-based operations and other advanced data center tasks that demand high bandwidth.
