Micron Announces Dual-Inline Memory Module (LRDIMM), the Industry’s First DDR3 Load-Reduced
The new LRDIMMs provide the option to support higher data frequencies and significantly increase memory capacity. The LRDIMMs will be manufactured using Micron’s leading-edge 1.35-volt, 2-gigabit (Gb) 50-nanometer DDR3 memory chips, allowing the company to easily and cost-effectively increase server module capacity because of the chips’ high-density and industry leading small die size. Micron’s new LRDIMMs reduce the bus load when transferring data between the memory and processor by 50 percent for a dual-rank module and 75 percent for a quad-rank module, when compared to today’s standard DDR3 server modules – registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). Micron’s LRDIMMs enable servers to handle higher frequencies of data to improve overall system performance and support increased number of modules for greater system memory capacity…
