Gen6 DDR5 Registered Clock Driver Sets Performance Benchmark by Delivering 9600 MT/s

Renesas Electronics launched 6th Registered Clock Driver (RCD) for DDR5 Registered Dual In-line Memory Modules (RDIMMs). Renesas says  this new  RCD is the first to achieve a data rate of 9600 Mega Transfers Per Second (MT/s), surpassing the industry standard targeting data center server applications.

Key Features of Renesas’ Gen6 DDR5 RCD
10% Bandwidth Increase over Renesas’ Gen5 RCD (9600 MT/s versus 8800 MT/s)
Backward Compatibility with Gen5 Platforms: Provides seamless upgrade path
Enhanced Signal Integrity and Power Efficiency: Enables AI, HPC, and LLM workloads
Expanded Decision Feedback Equalization Architecture: Offers eight taps and 1.5mV granularity for superior margin tuning
Decision Engine Signal Telemetry and Margining (DESTM): Improved system-level diagnostics provides real-time signal quality indication, margin visibility, and diagnostic feedback for higher speeds
The new DDR5 RDIMMs are needed to keep pace with the ever-increasing memory bandwidth demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Compute (HPC) and other data center applications. Renesas has been instrumental in the design, development and deployment of the new RDIMMs, collaborating with industry leaders including CPU and memory providers, along with end customers. Renesas is the leader in DDR5 RCDs, building on its legacy of signal integ...
