Rambus Expands Memory Interface Chip Offering to High-Performance PCs with DDR5 Client Clock Driver

Rambus Inc. announced the availability of its DDR5 Client Clock Driver (CKD) for next-gen, high-performance desktops and notebooks.

The company’s DDR5 CKD and SPD Hub are part of a new client memory interface chip product offering that brings server technology advancements to the client market. Leveraging over 30 years of memory system expertise, the DDR5 CKD enables new client DIMMs (CSODIMMs and CUDIMMs) to operate at data rates of up to 7,200MT/s, and deliver performance in next-gen PCs.

“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,” said Rami Sethi, SVP and GM, memory interface chips. “This new DDR5 Client Clock Driver is the latest addition to our growing line up of chip solutions that enable breakthrough memory performance across the computing landscape, and bring more value to our customers.”

In addition to the CKD, the firm’s DDR5 memory interface chips include Gen1 to Gen4 RCDs, Power Management ICs (PMICs), Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Hubs and Temperature Sensors for leading-edge servers. As data rates continue to rise, signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) management become increasingly vital. With over 30 years of high-performance memory experience, Rambus is know for its SI/PI expertise. This expertise helps enable DDR5 memory interface chips to deliver superior signal integrity and power efficiency at higher yield for server and client DIMMs.
