Recent #ddr5 news in the semiconductor industry
➀ Mini-PC manufacturer Minisforum has launched a new gaming motherboard, the BD790i X3D, featuring a mobile X3D chip.
➁ The board supports DDR5-5200 RAM up to 96GB and two M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD for up to 4TB of storage.
➂ The BD790i X3D includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for powerful desktop graphics cards and has an integrated Radeon 610M GPU for basic gaming needs.
➀ The ASRock Rack TURIN2D16-2T is designed to handle high-end server processors with dual AMD EPYC 9005 CPUs and sixteen DDR5 slots.
➁ It features an EEB form factor, providing ample space for the large SP5 CPU sockets and PCIe connectivity.
➂ Despite its size, it offers five PCIe x16 slots, with support for Gen4 and Gen5, and also CXL 2.0, making it a powerful server platform.
➀ The MSI B850 Tomahawk MAX Wifi offers a great value at $229.99 with dual PCIe 5.0 x4 sockets and 5 GbE, although it lacks a rear 20 Gbps port and integrated RGB.
➁ It features Wi-Fi 7, 5 GbE, and ample USB ports, including three Type-C ports.
➂ The board performs well in gaming and productivity apps, with a solid power delivery and a neutral design.
➀ The article provides a quick look at Micron DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM kits, highlighting their specifications and performance in newer platforms.
➁ The Micron DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM modules are discussed, including their part number and physical appearance.
➂ The author mentions the pricing and availability of these modules, noting that they are currently expensive and not recommended for general use unless absolutely necessary.
➀ Seco将在3月份的嵌入式世界展会上推出基于Intel Processor N系列的计算机模块;
➁ 这些处理器被称为Twin Lake,具有多达八个'Efficiency'核心,针对6至15W的功耗应用;
➂ SOM-SMARC-TWL具有SMARC(智能移动架构)外形尺寸,提供2x NBase-T、2x USB 3.2 Gen 2、6x USB 2.0和4x PCIe Gen 3通道等连接选项;
➃ SOM-COMe-CT6-TWL是类似处理器板,但采用COM Express Type 6 Compact外形尺寸。
➀ MSI has announced several Intel B860 motherboards in China, including the MAG B860 Tomahawk Wi-Fi, MAG B860M Mortar Wi-Fi, and Pro B860M-A Wi-Fi.
➁ These motherboards are optimized for ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT) DDR5 memory ICs, which are the first locally produced DDR5 chips in China.
➂ CXMT uses a less advanced production node to stay within U.S. export restrictions, making its DDR5 chips larger but potentially advantageous due to lower import duties.
➀ China-based memory maker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) began shipping DDR5 memory chips, but their die size is 40% larger than Samsung's;
➁ The larger die size is due to the use of less advanced chipmaking technology;
➂ CXMT's 16 Gb DDR5 die size is comparable to first-generation DDR5 chips;
➃ CXMT's DDR5 costs are likely higher than Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix;
➄ The large die size indicates CXMT is years behind in process technology compared to competitors.
