Rambus Announces SOCAMM2 LPDDR5X Server Module Chipset for AI Data Centers Supporting Up to 9.6 Gb/s

Rambus  announced a SOCAMM2 (Small Outline Compression Attached Memory Module) chipset designed to enable low-power, high-performance LPDDR5X-based memory modules for AI server platforms. The SOCAMM2 chipset is the first in a planned family of LPDDR-based server module chipsets for future AI systems and supports JEDEC-standard LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 memory modules running up to 9.6 Gb/s.

The chipset is an LPDDR-based SOCAMM2 solution that includes new voltage regulators and an SPD Hub. It extends Rambus offerings of complete memory interface chipsets for all JEDEC-standard DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory modules. The company stated that the announcement reflects ongoing collaboration with industry partners to support new memory architectures optimized for evolving workloads in AI data center infrastructure.

The rapid diversification and expansion of data center workloads driven by AI is reshaping system requirements, heightening the need for purpose-built solutions that optimize for power, efficiency, form factor and memory scalability. SOCAMM2 memory modules, based on LPDDR technology, deliver high performance with lower power consumption in a modular, serviceable, board area efficient form factor.

The Rambus SOCAMM2 chipset provides the critical control, telem...
