“At Rambus, we have a rich history of innovation and expertise
in high-speed memory interface design – the introduction of this
chipset is a natural progression that enables us to deliver maximum
value to the industry,” said Dr. Ron Black, president and chief
executive officer at Rambus. “Expanding our offer beyond IP into
chips with standards-based offerings that feature leading-edge
performance and advanced functionality amplifies our growth
strategy and furthers our engagement with the market.”
According to the International Data Corporation’s (IDC) 2015
Worldwide DRAM Demand and Supply 1Q15–4Q16 and 2015–2019 analysis,
which was led by Mario Morales, vice president of the
semiconductors research program, the average DRAM capacity per
server is projected to more than double in the next three years
with penetration of DDR4 in the server market reaching 100 percent
by 2019.
“Data centers and enterprise markets are under increased
pressure to implement enhanced memory architectures that meet the
capacity and bandwidth requirements to handle large amounts of
complex data,” said Patrick Moorhead, president of Moor Insights
& Strategy. “Rambus’ deep expertise in advanced memory designs
makes them the newcomer to watch in the server memory chipset
market.”
Features and
Functionality
The RB26 DDR4 RDIMM and LRDIMM chipset includes a DDR4 Register
Clock Driver (RCD) and Data Buffer (DB) that feature:
- JEDEC DDR4 Compliance:
fully-compliant with the latest JEDEC DDR4 RCD and DB
specifications at 2666 Mbps with built-in support for future data
rates;
- Industry-leading Performance and
Margin: advanced I/O programmability and power management
techniques allow for broad compatibility and increased efficiency
in critical server infrastructures; and
- Advanced Debug and
Serviceability: integrated tools and added device flexibility
provide a robust system while delivering ease-of-integration and
enhanced testability for server OEMs.
Product Availability
RB26 is currently sampling to key potential customers and
critical ecosystem partners. This chipset includes a roadmap with
value-added features to support further improvements to system
performance and reliability.
Rambus will be demonstrating its server DIMM chipset at the
Intel Developer Forum, as a Gold Sponsor and participant in the
DDR4 Community, happening August 18-20, 2015 at Moscone Center in
San Francisco.
