Hynix unveils 16 GB 2-Rank R-DIMM using MetaRAM technology

South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor is using MetaRAM’s new DDR3 technology in its next generation R-DIMMs, including what is called the world’s first 16GB 2-rank DIMM (HMT32GR7AER4C-GD), which it will demonstrate at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco (19 - 21 August). Hynix’s new 16GB and 8GB (HMT31GR7AER4C-GC) 2-rank DIMMs can triple DDR3 memory capacity in servers and workstations, enabling what is claimed to be the world’s highest memory capacity per channel without degrading performance. Intel will demonstrate the world’s first 16GB 2-rank DIMM from Hynix, using the MetaRAM DDR3 chipset, at IDF. Intel will also demonstrate a server with 160GB using Hynix DDR3 R-DIMMs and Meta SDRAM technology in the Advanced Technology Zone. DDR3 MetaRAM is similar to the previous generation DDR2 technology in that it enables... [read full story]
