澜起科技's second-generation MRDIMM in large-scale trial phase
Chinese technology firm 瀾起科技 has announced updates on its server memory technology. The company's second-generation MRDIMM modules, capable of 12800MT/s transfer speeds, are currently undergoing large-scale trials.
Chinese technology company 瀾起科技 has provided an update on the development of its second-generation MRDIMM memory modules. These JEDEC-standard compliant modules are designed to address the increasing demand for memory bandwidth driven by AI and high-performance computing applications, a trend intensified by the rise of multi-core processors.
The second-generation MRDIMM technology boasts a data transfer rate of 12800MT/s. This marks a 45% improvement over the first-generation modules (8800MT/s) and is double the speed of current mainstream third-generation RDIMM modules (6400MT/s). The company anticipates that the industry will begin significant adoption of MRDIMM technology within the next two to three years, entering a rapid growth phase.
Looking ahead, the third-generation MRDIMM is expected to support speeds of 16000MT/s. Industry-wide support from server CPU platforms for the second-generation MRDIMM is projected to materialize from late 2026 to early 2027. This widespread CPU platform compatibility is seen as crucial for the large-scale deployment of MRDIMM in data centers.
MRDIMM, or Multi-Rank DIMM, is an innovative memory module architecture that enhances bandwidth through multi-rank technology. It aims to overcome signal and speed limitations of traditional DIMMs under high bandwidth demands. By employing a combination of techniques, MRDIMM enables higher data transfer rates, effectively mitigating memory bandwidth bottlenecks for next-generation enterprise servers and AI computing.
