8Gb-based DDR4 memory modules offer cost advantages

Higher density modules, when combined with the next DDR4 speed increase of 2400MT/s, create greater channel bandwidth and channel density, as well as increased energy efficiency. Ultimately, these benefits provide more value per gigabit than current 4Gb-based offerings. Together, the increase in density, bandwidth and value deliver a lower total cost of ownership for users.

Designed for next-gen processor product families, the Crucial 8Gb-based server memory modules are extensively tested to mission-critical standards and come with a limited lifetime warranty. The Technology Enablement Program provides channel partners who are currently developing or evaluating DDR4-capable platforms early access to Crucial DDR4 8Gb-based RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, and ECC UDIMMs. The new modules are expected to be available in late July and will be included in the Reliance Program.

“Our 8Gb-based modules will enable next-gen energy efficient servers to more readily keep up with the ever-increasing memory density and bandwidth demands of virtualisation, HPC and big data applications,” said Michael Moreland, Worldwide Product Marketing Manager, Crucial. "These modules can play a significant role in nearly any server strategy, whether its a new installation of a single server or the scale-up or scale-out of an existing deployment.”
