Ever wonder why many memory vendors have validated DDR5 Memory on the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processor?

 

Intel's 4th Gen Scalable processors are the first to support the next-generation DDR5 Server Memory; this memory module features eight memory channels with two DIMMs per channel or 16 DIMMs per CPU socket. Further, this DDR5 comes with fast data transfer speed ranging up to 4800MT/s with a high bandwidth of 38.4GB/s that can further be increased when configured with multi-channels. Moreover, the DDR5 Registered DIMM also comprises more advanced features such as on-die ECC (ODECC), enhanced refreshes, power management circuit (PMIC), double the number of banks and double the burst length, dual independent 32-bit subchannels (40-bit for ECC), and additional temperature sensors, decision feedback equalization (DFE) that ensures reliability and efficiency.'Validation is always the first step for memory manufacturers to demonstrate the quality and compatibility of their memory solutions.” Mike Mohney, Sr Technology Manager DRAM, Kingston.
