Like all components of a computer system, memory evolves to offer a series of aspects that increase its capabilities, whether through performance, reduced consumption or directly through cost savings. In this case, the new format of memory MRDIMM It aims to significantly improve server power in extremely high workloads, as it manages to reduce latency while increasing frequency by improving bandwidth, something many companies, such as those focused on AI, see this as something absolutely necessary.
We are seeing more and more new developments related to the world of computing, at the same time as the development times of new technologies are accelerating, which allows a truly impressive leap in performance in all possible aspects, and not only in a specific area. component type. Now the memories for the servers they will have a new reference, a format which manages to significantly improve performance without having to adapt or modify any aspect of the software or the motherboard, allowing an increase in power to be obtained without investing more than what the memory itself costs.
MRDIMM is the new memory standard that could revolutionize servers
DDR5 memories have ended up completely changing the way we view RAM, since modules created on this technology have significantly increased performance compared to their previous version, DDR4. These memories significantly improved data transfer speeds over previous ones because they created performance bottlenecks for compute-intensive workloads. 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 significantly improving what the standard is capable of offering DDR5since the increase in bandwidth that they integrate makes it possible to increase the overall power that the memory is capable of offering. According to Intel Yes Microna module MRDIMM 128GB DDR5-8800 memory delivers up to 40% lower latency in higher load tasks compared to 128GB DDR5-6400 RDIMM memory, significantly improving the overall performance of the memory itself, as not only does it deliver a higher frequency, but it also does. with lower latency.
In addition to this, both companies emphasize that one of the most important aspects that it presents, apart from the increase in performance that it offers, is the simplicity of integration that it would have in any type of server, since it retains the same connector and physical layout as 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 continuing to maintain the characteristics of reliability, availability and maintenance, such as patching of errors.
