Progress is inexorably approaching. This time, Canadence Design Systems demonstrated the first DDR5 dice controller, which is to enable SoC designers to implement it. Fortunately, it did not end there, because as part of cooperation with Micron, it prepared a kind of “module„.
Thus, the combination of the controller made in the 7nm TSMC process with the initial versions of the 16Gb DDR5 chip from Micron with CL42 latencies resulted in a transfer of 4400 MT / s (that is MHz only with operations per second included). Compared to today’s DDR4 standard, the new memories operate on a voltage of 1.1 V, not 1.2 V. In addition, they will enter the market with more than twice the frequency (2133 MHz versus 4400 MHz).
However, speeds are not all that is new. The modules coming at the turn of 2019 and 2020 will also boast better channel utilization, integrated voltage controllers, and even an energy management mechanism – it is not known whether on all or high-end products. However, the real power of the new standard will be much higher capacity. I am talking about round 16 and 32 GB.
According to the company behind this news, DDR5 memory will start to push DDR4 out of the market in 2021.
