In the midst of a memory supply crisis, I am definitely thankful for the 32 GB of DDR5 that came inside my prebuilt rig a few moons ago now. Sure, 16 GB of RAM is fine for most things I'd want to dive into, but the AI industry is playing a whole other ball game. Case in point, I am sweating just thinking about Micron's 256 GB DDR5 server module.
The Boise, Idaho-based memory manufacturer unveiled the tech on Tuesday. It's built on Micron's 1-gamma technology which, per the press release, "is capable of speeds up to 9,200 megatransfers per second (MT/s), greater than 40% faster than modules in volume production today."
