Montage Technology is proud to announce the successful sampling of its Gen2 Multiplexed Rank Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) and Multiplexed Rank Data Buffer (MDB) chipset to leading global memory manufacturers. Designed specifically for DDR5 Multiplexed Rank DIMM (MRDIMM), this new chipset offers exceptional memory performance with data rates up to 12800 MT/s, supporting next-generation computing platforms.
This release comes at a critical moment as AI and big data analytics continue to drive higher demands for memory bandwidth in data centers, and MRDIMM technology is emerging as a key solution to meet these challenges.
Key Features of the Gen2 MRCD and MDB Chipset:
- High-Performance Memory Architecture for Next-Gen Computing:
- The MRDIMM technology is designed to support next-gen server processors with increasing core counts. The Gen2 chipset achieves 12800 MT/s, offering a 45% performance improvement over the Gen1 MRCD and MDB chipset, which supported speeds of up to 8800 MT/s.
- Innovative “1+10” Buffer Architecture:
- The Gen2 chipset features a “1+10” buffer architecture, where each MRDIMM module consists of one MRCD and ten MDB chips. The MRCD chip handles buffering and re-driving of address, command, clock, and control signals, while the MDB chips manage data traffic between the memory controller and DRAM chips.
- Enhanced Data Throughput:
- With the use of time-division multiplexing technology and double data rate technology, this architecture enables simultaneous operation of two memory ranks at standard rates, effectively doubling the data throughput.
Leadership and Innovation in Memory Technology:
- Stephen Tai, President of Montage Technology, shared his excitement about the advancement:
- “The memory demands of AI and other intensive workloads continue to drive innovation in data center memory architecture. Our rapid progression from first-generation production to second-generation sampling demonstrates Montage Technology’s expertise in DDR5 memory technology. This achievement strengthens our position as a leader in memory interface solutions.”
- Gen5 DDR5 RCD Chip Sampling:
- Beyond MRCD and MDB, Montage Technology is also sampling its Gen5 DDR5 RCD (RCD05) chip in the fourth quarter of 2024, expanding its already industry-leading portfolio. This includes comprehensive memory interface and module support solutions, such as RCD, DB, CKD, SPD Hub, PMIC, and TS, ensuring optimal system integration and performance.
Montage Technology’s Gen2 MRCD and MDB chipset is setting new performance benchmarks in the memory technology landscape, providing advanced solutions for data centers and next-generation computing platforms. As demand for AI-driven workloads continues to surge, the company remains at the forefront of delivering innovative, high-performance memory interfaces to meet the evolving needs of the global market.
