SEOUL, December 18 (AJP) - SK hynix said on Thursday it has obtained Intel Data Center certification for its 256GB DDR5 registered dual in-line memory module (RDIMM), becoming the first supplier to validate a 32Gb-based high-capacity DDR5 module on Intel’s latest Xeon 6 server platform.
The module is built on the company’s fifth-generation 10-nanometer-class (1b) 32Gb DRAM and is designed for data center servers that require higher memory density as artificial intelligence workloads expand. Certification testing was conducted at Intel’s Advanced Data Center Development Laboratory in the United States, the company said.
SK hynix said the 256GB DDR5 module delivers about 16 percent higher AI inference performance compared with server configurations using 128GB memory based on 32Gb chips, while reducing power consumption by up to 18 percent versus its previous 256GB products built on 16Gb DRAM.
The certification comes as demand grows for higher-capacity server memory to support increasingly complex AI models and data-intensive workloads, prompting memory suppliers to accelerate the transition toward higher-density DRAM architectures.
