Micron Technology has pioneered 1β (1-beta) process node technology with the launch of the 16Gb DDR5 memory. With capabilities to reach speeds up to 7,200 MT/s, Micron’s DDR5 SDRAM is backed by its advanced 1β process. This development signifies an up to 50 percent enhancement in performance and a 33 percent performance boost per watt compared to the preceding DDR4 generation.

This development signifies an up to 50 percent enhancement in performance and a 33 percent performance boost per watt compared to the preceding DDR4 generation.
The rapid expansion in CPU core counts (driven by the growing demands of data center operations) necessitates a significant increase in memory bandwidth and capacities. DDR5 by Micron has been designed to cater to this very requirement, offering up to twice the memory bandwidth compared to its DDR4 counterpart. This advancement is pivotal in optimizing the total cost of ownership for clients while surmounting the prevailing ‘memory wall’ challenge.
Moreover, this progression in DDR5 technology is expected to amplify computational capabilities, facilitating operations in areas such as artificial intelligence training, data analytics, generative AI, and in-memory databases. Micron’s new DDR5 memory is available at varying speeds, from 4,800 MT/s to a peak of 7,200 MT/s, catering to both data center and client applications.
Powered by the groundbreaking 1β technology, Micron is poised to present an extensive portfolio of memory solutions. This includes DDR5 RDIMMs and MCRDIMMs available in 16Gb, 24Gb, and 32Gb DRAM die configurations, alongside LPDDR5X, HBM3E, and GDDR7. These new 16Gb DDR5 memory solutions will be accessible via direct sales and channel partners.
Micron indicates the following key benefits of the company’s new DDR5 Memory:
Marking a notable benchmark for the industry, Micron’s transition into high-volume manufacturing and the broad-scale availability of its 1β DDR5 DRAM for diverse platforms reaffirms the company’s commitment to technological advancement.
Micron’s new DDR5 RAM is available now.
