Introduction to Rambus DDR5 Client Clock Driver
Rambus Inc., a premier provider of chips and silicon IP, has recently announced the availability of its DDR5 Client Clock Driver (CKD). This cutting-edge technology aims to bring server-level performance advancements to next-generation, high-performance desktops and notebooks. The DDR5 CKD is part of Rambus’s new client memory interface chip product lineup, designed to enhance the performance and data speeds of client DIMMs (CSODIMMs and CUDIMMs).
Breakthrough Performance and Data Rates
Leveraging over 30 years of memory system expertise, the Rambus DDR5 CKD enables client DIMMs to operate at state-of-the-art data rates of up to 7200 megatransfers per second (MT/s). This development promises to deliver breakthrough performance in next-generation PCs, making them more suitable for advanced applications such as gaming, content creation, and artificial intelligence.
Statement from Rami Sethi
Rami Sethi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Memory Interface Chips at Rambus, stated, “As advanced technologies first developed for the data center proliferate to the client space, increasingly powerful PCs will take gaming, content creation, and AI to new levels. This new DDR5 Client Clock Driver is the latest addition to our growing lineup of chip solutions that enable breakthrough memory performance across the computing landscape, and bring more value to our customers.”
Additional DDR5 Memory Interface Chips
In addition to the CKD, Rambus’s DDR5 memory interface chips include Gen 1 to Gen 4 Register Clock Drivers (RCDs), Power Management ICs (PMICs), Serial Presence Detect (SPD) hubs, and temperature sensors for leading-edge servers. As data rates continue to rise, effective signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) management become increasingly critical. With over 30 years of experience in high-performance memory, Rambus is renowned for its expertise in SI/PI, which enables DDR5 memory interface chips to deliver superior signal integrity and power efficiency at higher yields for both server and client DIMMs.
