Micron and cadence show the first ddr5 chips, they will arrive in 2019
Table of contents:
The technology does not stop evolving, after three years since the arrival of DDR4 memory, it is time to think about what will be its successor, the DDR5 that should hit the market in 2019 or 2020 if everything goes according to plan.
DDR5 memory development continues
It is expected that sometime in the summer of this year 2018 the definitive JEDEC specification of DDR4 memory will be published, for now the chips are capable of reaching a speed of 4400 MHz with an operating voltage of 1.1 V, which means a significant jump in energy efficiency of 9% from the 1.25 V of the DDR4. As manufacturing techniques advance, DDR5 is expected to be capable of speeds of up to 6400 MHz.

Rambus was the first company to show its first prototypes of DDR5 chips last year, now it is the turn of Micron and Cadence, other major manufacturers of this type of memory, especially the first. Large amounts of RAM are currently used in servers, the new modules will be made with DDR5 chips with a capacity of 1 GB, it is expected that DIMMs with up to 16 GB can be offered, double the current limit of 8 GB for DDR4 DIMMs. This jump in density will allow you to mount equipment with a large amount of memory without the need to use a very high number of modules, which will reduce the cost of manufacturing the motherboards. Manufacturers should include a Power Management Regulator (PMIC), to ensure a very stable voltage across these high-density modules.
DDR5 memory is manufactured using a node at 7 nm, this memory will coexist with DDR4 in its first years, waiting for it to prevail a couple of years after its initial arrival, which occurs in all memory generations.

Micron and cadence update ddr5 status, 36% more performance than ddr4
At a TSMC event earlier this month, Micron and Cadence provided some updates on DDR5 development.
