Scaling to DDR5 9600: Why Clocked Client Memory Modules Matter for AI PCs
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/scaling-to-ddr5-9600-why-clocked-client-memory-modules-matter-for-ai-pcs/AI PCs running agentic workloads are expected to plan, execute, and adapt workflows in real time. These workloads depend on persistent context, concurrent processing, and continuous data movement between the processor and system memory. The result is increased demands on system memory requiring significantly higher bandwidth, greater capacity, and sustained performance under load. To meet […]
Rambus DRAM Tutorial
https://www.rambus.com/rambus-dram-tutorial/This tutorial will describe DRAM architecture in detail, highlighting the similarities and differences between different DRAM technologies and the unique tradeoffs and design choices made to meet system needs. We will also cover the key components that memory transactions travel thorough to get to DRAMs and back, including memory controllers, PHYs, and where applicable, modules and buffer chips. We will describe the architecture of these critical components and discuss how DRAM architecture choices impact their performance and power efficiency. Standard scaling techniques for DRAMs will be highlighted along with challenges that the industry is currently facing. Input from industry experts will show the pros and cons of DRAM architecture choices, demonstrating the system impact and requirements for mainstream adoption. Future DRAM architectures will also be discussed.
Clamshell Mode
https://www.rambus.com/chip-interface-ip-glossary/clamshell-mode/Clamshell Mode is a DRAM configuration technique where two memory modules share the same memory channel but are mounted on opposite sides of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This layout is commonly used in systems requiring high memory density within constrained physical space, such as embedded systems, mobile devices, and automotive electronics.
