DDR5 in RDIMMs, UDIMMs and SODIMM start at 16Gbyte Smart Modular Technologies has launched a DDR5 module family. With a 4.8 to 6.4Gbit/s data rate, DDR5 provides twice the performance of DDR4, as well as improved power efficiency through an on-DIMM 12V voltage regulator and 1.1V I/O. With a dual-channel DIMM topology for higher channel efficiency, according to Smart, it is suited to cloud computing and enterprise networking. “As an active participating member of JEDEC, Smart Modular is committed to DDR5 industry enablement and is aligned with its DRAM supplier partners to support the industry’s transition to DDR5,” said Smart marketing director Arthur Sainio. Smart Modular’s focus is on providing technical support to OEMs designing DDR5 memory into their systems.”
