No, Mr. Dimm isn't the name of a Bond villain, nor is it the name of a less-than-smart school teacher in a teen comedy. MRDIMM is, in fact, an AMD- and JEDEC-backed attempt at standardising a kind of monstrously wide, fiendishly high-capacity, high-bandwidth, and somehow relatively cheap DDR5 memory. And now, Micron's unleashed it (via Wccftech) into the wild.
Micron has unveiled its DDR5 MRDIMM modules, which are targeted at the rapidly growing AI and HPC markets with up to 8800 MT/s speeds.
Team Group MP44L | 2 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 4,800 MB/s read | 4,400 MB/s write | $122.99 $99.99 at Amazon (save $23) It's far from being the fastest 2 TB SSD you can buy but it's certainly one of the cheapest. Every gigabyte of storage inside will cost you less than five cents. What a world we live in.
RAM chip manufacturer Micron has recently been making some interesting claims about its next generation of ultra-fast memory for graphics cards, GDDR7. Compared to what's currently being used (GDDR6X and GDDR6), Micron says its forthcoming tech is «expected to achieve greater than 30% improvement in frames per second for ray tracing and rasterization workloads.»
Micron is claiming that its next-gen GDDR7 memory is going to offer up to a 30% gain in gaming FPS, specifically ray tracing & rasterization.
Nvidia's keynote speech at Computex 2024 contained nothing about its next generation of GeForce graphics cards. So, for the time being, we're left to browse through the usual sources of leaks and rumours to build a picture of what's coming. The latest of which suggests that the RTX 5090 will be using a 512-bit wide memory bus, but the rest will be the same as in the current RTX 40-series.
It might not surprise you to learn that PCIe 5.0 SSDs, Gen 5 by another name, isn't selling in anywhere near the sort of quantities that PCIe 4.0 is. As Micron tells me over at Computex 2024, the newer, faster SSDs haven't reached a tipping point in popularity.
We've seen a new memory form factor show up in a few places at Computex 2024—across modules to motherboards. Not least surprising is how often memory manufacturer Micron mentioned it to me at the show. And how enthused it was with the memory form factor, which it is first with to market.
