Intelligent Memory expanded its family of DDR5 memory modules with fully RoHS-compliant RDIMM, UDIMM and SODIMM DDR5 modules that are available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
With these new modules, manufacturers of long-life electronic products don’t have to rely on extensions of the 7c-I exemption to the RoHS directive, especially since new exemptions are granted for shorter periods.
DDR5 enables up to 4 times higher capacity per module in comparison to DDR4. DDR4 modules handle 16Gb x8 chips and max out at 32GB, while DDR5, can leverage 64Gb components which push the maximum capacity on a single module from 32GB up to 128GB. And DDR5 supports die stacking, so memory vendors can potentially stack up to 16 dies onto one chip. As a result, a single Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) can come with a capacity of up to 4TB.
Last but not least, DDR5 starts where DDR4 left off, ranging from 3,200MT/s to 6,400MT/s which is double the maximum bandwidth of DDR4.
