News
Rambus introduced its DDR5 9600 Server RDIMM chipset Built around the new Rambus 6th Generation Registering Clock Driver (RCD06) with a 20 percent increase in bandwidth over the previous generation. The chipset enables RDIMMs, operating up to 9600 MT/s, unlocking the bandwidth and capacity commanded by agentic AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and other data-intensive workloads.
“The rapidly accelerating adoption of agentic AI and AI inference workloads is driving unprecedented demand for higher memory bandwidth and capacity in the data center,” said Rami Sethi, SVP and general manager of Memory Interface Chips at Rambus. “With our DDR5 9600 RDIMM chipset featuring the new RCD06, Rambus continues to extend its leadership in high-speed memory interface solutions, enabling our customers to deliver the performance and reliability required for next-generation server platforms.”
The chipset includes the PMIC5030 power management IC delivering efficient, high-current power at low voltage levels to support advanced DDR5 RDIMM configurations. It comes with a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Hub with an integrated temperature sensor, as well as dedicated Temperature Sensor ICs for critical module telemetry, configuration, and thermal monitoring functions.
Utilizing its integrated clocking, control, and power management, the solution supports signal and power integrity at high data rates, reducing design complexity for memory module manufacturers and improving system dependability.
