Micron is announcing the commencement of volume shipments for its new DDR5-4800 SDRAM for AMD's 4th Gen EPYC Genoa "Zen 4" CPUs.

Micron DDR5 Memory Now Supporting 4th Gen AMD EPYC Genoa CPUs, Based on “Zen 4” Architecture
Press Release: Micron Technology, Inc., (Nasdaq: MU) today announced it is volume shipping DDR5 SDRAM memory for the data center that is validated for new AMD EPYC 9004 Series processors.

 

 

Micron's new DDR5 SDRAM delivers a 1.5 times increase in data rates at 4800 MT/s when compared to DDR4 3200, and enables features like on-die ECC, Error Check and Scrub (ECS), and fault bounding for increased reliability in the data center while continuing to scale density. Additionally, Micron is providing flexible memory solutions capable of fueling the continued expansion of CPU cores for data-intensive workloads like AI, advanced analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC).

Micron continues to lead the industry transition to DDR5 through our ongoing development and validation collaborations with AMD and our ecosystem partners to ensure readiness for 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors.

Extracting insights from huge volumes of data requires advanced, compute-intensive AI workloads, necessitating more memory bandwidth. DDR5 is the game-changing memory required to enable performance and efficiency in the data center.

Raj Hazra, senior vice president and general manager of Micron’s Compute and Networking Business Unit.

With introductory data rates at 4800 MT/s and other features to improve overall data bus efficiency, Micron DDR5 memory enables a 36% increase in bus efficiency and approximately two times the effective bandwidth when compared to DDR4 3200 to feed the continued growth of CPU cores in the modern data center. Micron will continue development on DDR5 to facilitate data rates up to 8800 MT/s, which would provide three times the effective bandwidth compared to DDR4 3200 as processors and workloads continue to evolve.
