An AMD patent application for a new spin on DDR5 PC memory has been spotted. The so-called high-bandwidth dual inline memory module or HB-DIMM is designed to boost memory bandwidth courtesy of pseudo channels, buffer chips and intelligent signal routing. It looks very fancy, but we'll take some convincing it'll appear in PCs any time soon.
Uncovered by Tech4Gamers, the AMD patent application explains that modern computing platforms have ever greater memory bandwidth requirements.
