Going forward, every type of DIMM will contain its own integrated voltage regulator. Typically, the voltage regulators for DRAM have been located on the motherboard. One major change to the DRAM specification with DDR5 is the use of onboard voltage regulators. Unlike in the past, when new DDR memory speeds took over for the old standard at its previous frequency level, DDR5 is expected to launch at DDR5-4800, not DDR5-3200. These, however, will be server deployments not intended for the standard consumer market. LRDIMMs are expected to stack up to eight dies per chip, which is where the 2TB figure comes from. The size of the decrease is half the size of the one from DDR3 to DDR4, where voltage fell from 1.5v to 1.2v, so it’ll be interesting to see how many power advantages DDR5 brings to the table over DDR4. Voltage (Vdd and Vddq) have both dropped, from 1.2v with DDR4 to 1.1v with DDR5. This effectively wastes a great deal of bandwidth fetching data that the CPU doesn’t want and likely can’t use.Īdopting 2x 32-bit channels per DIMM allows JEDEC to double the burst length and improve efficiency, since the two banks can operate independently of each other. With a burst length of 16, a 64-bit channel would fetch 128 bytes / 1024 bits of data. Standard cache lines are 64-bytes long, and this is the default expected size for memory operations. The reason for the channel shift has to do with the increased burst length.
