Hynix manufactures 16gb ddr4 chips, will allow dimms up to 256gb
Table of contents:
Sk Hynix has added to its product catalog the new 16 GB DDR4 memory chips, which should allow the maximum memory capacity per DIMM to be doubled. This allows SK Hynix to sell chips of the same capacity with fewer memory semiconductor arrays, due to increased storage density (more data in the same space).
Will allow 256GB capacity DIMM modules
The benefits are lower power consumption (due to the reduced number of memory arrays), and the ability to mount dual-range 64GB modules, quad-range 128GB LRDIMMs , and octal-range 256GB LRDIMMs . This last part is the most important: Theoretically, the maximum amount of memory on higher Intel or AMD server platforms could be doubled, which could allow up to 4TB of RAM on EPYC systems, for example.
Hynix increases the density of its DDR4 chips
SK Hynix's 16Gb DDR4 chips are organized as follows; 1Gx16 and 2Gx8 and are supplied in FBGA96 and FBGA78 packages, respectively. Speeds for 16GB chips are in DDR4-2133 CL15 or DDR4-2400 CL17 modes to 1.2V. SK Hynix plans to increase the available frequencies in the third quarter of this year, adding DDR4-2666 CL19..
Although 256GB memory modules seem excessive for ordinary computers, they are useful in server systems.
