Data centers eye next-gen memory options
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/data-centers-eye-next-gen-memory-options-2/Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling recently noted that data center architecture has experienced very few radical changes since the commercial introduction of the IBM System/360 mainframe way back in 1964. “There have been incremental improvements in speed and throughput over the years, with a move to a client/server model in the 1990s, but […]
AnandTech analyzes DDR4 and beyond
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/anandtech-analyzes-ddr4-and-beyond-2/Writing for AnandTech, Ian Cutress recently explained why DDR4 was first launched in the enthusiast space. “On the server side, any opportunity to use lower power and drive cooling costs down is a positive, so aiming at [Intel] Xeons and high-end consumer platforms was priority number one,” he said. “Any of the big players in […]
From GDDR to HBM
http://www.rambusblog.com/2015/02/18/from-gddr-to-hbm/#new_tabA recent KitGuru report suggests AMD has designed its upcoming Radeon R9 380X with high bandwidth memory, or HBM, a next-gen stacked DRAM memory standard. “Although HBM provides DDR3 – like bit rate per pin (HBM1=1GHz, HBM2=2GHz), the standard more than compensates with its channel of 128 bits each,” Loren Shalinsky, a Strategic Development Director […]

DDR4 deployment averts “thermal nightmare”
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/ddr4-deployment-averts-thermal-nightmare-2/Writing for DataCenter Dynamics, Scott Fulton notes that recent benchmark results indicate DDR4 is at least partially, and perhaps wholly, responsible for performance gains in low-end and mid-tier servers. In addition, DDR4 may, at best, mitigate performance drop-offs in the high-end. However, says Fulton, the industry is merely at the early stage of new technology […]
The evolution of LPDDR4
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-evolution-of-lpddr4-2/Ajay Jain, a director of product marketing at Rambus, recently told Semiconductor Engineering that LPDDR3 was the “workhorse” of the mobile memory market in 2014. According to Jain, LPDDR3 will retain its heavyweight status throughout most of 2015 before it is supplanted by next-gen LPDDR4. “There are a couple of trends evolving in the mobile […]
Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro is loaded with 4GB of RAM
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/xiaomis-mi-note-pro-is-loaded-with-4gb-of-ram-2/Announced earlier this month at CES 2015, the Asus Zenfone 2 features a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor and supports up to 4GB LPDDR3 DRAM. As we previously confirmed on Rambus Press, the Zenfone 2 was the very first smartphone to carry a full payload of 4GB of RAM. Unsurprisingly, a number of manufacturers are […]
