Like all the components in a computer system, memory evolves to offer a series of aspects that increase its capabilities, whether through performance, reduction in consumption or directly through cost savings. In this case, the new format of memory MRDIMM It comes with the aim of greatly improving the power that servers have in extremely high workloads, since it manages to reduce latency while increasing the frequency by improving bandwidth, something that many companies, such as those focused on AI They see it as something absolutely necessary.
There are more and more new developments that we see related to the world of computing, at the same time the development times for new technologies are accelerating, something that allows for a truly impressive leap in performance in all possible aspects, not only in one specific type of component. Now the memoirs for servers they will have a new reference, a format which manages to greatly improve performance without having to adapt or change any aspect of the software or motherboard, allowing an increase in power to be achieved without investing more than the memory itself costs.
MRDIMM is the new memory standard that could revolutionize servers
DDR5 memories have come to completely change the way we see RAM, since the modules that are created on this technology have considerably increased performance compared to their previous version, DDR4. These memories have greatly improved data transfer speeds compared to previous ones as they created performance bottlenecks for compute-intensive workloads, but now we will see a format of DDR5 which will amplify these qualities even more, since MRDIMM appears to offer superior performance
And in this aspect this new format of memory could end up greatly improving what the standard is capable of offering DDR5since the increase in bandwidth they incorporate allows the overall power that the memory is capable of offering to be higher. According to Intel and Microna module MRDIMM 128GB DDR5-8800 provides up to 40% lower latency in higher-load tasks compared to a 128GB DDR5-6400 RDIMM, greatly improving the overall performance of the memory itself, as it not only offers a higher frequency, but it does so with lower latency.
In addition to this, the two companies highlight that one of the most important aspects it has, along with the increase in performance it offers, is the simple integration it would have in any type of server, since it maintains the same connector and physical layout as the RDIMMs. This implies that it is obviously not necessary to make any type of change in the physical configuration of the servers, nor in the software, while they continue to maintain reliability, availability and maintenance characteristics, such as error correction.
