FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Innodisk
Releases DDR4 RDIMM Samples to Server Market
Innovating
today’s Industrial Grade Storage for Tomorrow’s Challenges
May 16, 2013, Taipei, Taiwan –
Innodisk is proud to be among the first to
supply (DDR4) registered DIMM product samples to key server companies
for their next-generation systems. With this announcement, Innodisk, an
industry leader in DRAM modules for industrial applications and
embedded systems, will continue to offer the most advanced technology
to its customers.
The result of almost eight years of development, DDR4 (Double Data Rate
4) technology improves on the previous generation, DDR3, in every way.
These new memory products provide users with greater performance, but
can still cut costs by saving power and space, and reducing waste heat.
Performance:
DDR4 offers a giant leap in peak performance over DDR3 technology, with
a 3.2 Gbps data transfer rate. In fact, DDR4 could eventually even
surpass this already high rate, according to standards organization
JEDEC, in the same way that DDR3 surpassed its initial ceiling of 1.6
Gbps. DDR4 memory bus speeds start at 2133MHz, which already offers a
huge jump in potential performance from the average bus speed of
1333MHz and 1666MHz offered by DDR3.
Voltage:
DDR4 devices run on significantly lower voltages than devices using
DDR3 or DDR2 technology. JEDEC's specifications suggest that DDR4 will
operate with a power envelope of 1.2 volts, compared to the 1.5 volts
demanded by the more power-hungry DDR3 generation. Lower voltages help
extend component lifespans.
Power consumption:
DDR4 modules will reduce power consumption by approximately 40 percent
compared to its predecessor DDR3 modules operating at 1.35V. Lower
power consumption offers lower operating costs by cutting power bills,
as well as a substantial reduction in heat output which helps extend
lifetimes of system components, further reducing costs.
Density:
With DDR4, the maximum capacity per chip has now been doubled from 64GB
to 128GB. The higher memory densities possible with DDR4 will save
space, simplify module construction, and improve internal airflow.
With this head start in DDR4 technology, Innodisk is ready meet the
needs of tomorrow's applications. As the IT landscape moves to adopt
cloud computing practices, companies are relying more heavily on data
centers with powerful server infrastructures. Innodisk offers
registered DIMM in capacities of 4GB, 8GB and 16GB, so that Innodisk
server customers can always be sure to have the perfect product to suit
the exact capacity of each of their system designs.
Innodisk looks forward to working together with server OEMs to
create the next-generation platforms that are demanded by tomorrow’s
challenges.
