Infineon Technologies has announced new high-speed DDR2 modules for high-end desktops and servers: the DDR2-800 unbuffered DIMMs and the customized 8-Gbyte DDR2-400 tall registered DIMMs based on dual-die technology.
Infineon was selected as a preferred supplier by Asus for these products, especially DDR2-400, as combined with Asus' P5WD2 Premium motherboard, the system is able to maximize desktop performance to a DIMM bandwidth of 6.4Gbs.
The Infineon 512-Mbyte DDR2-800 unbuffered DIMMs increase data throughput of desktop PCs by around 20% compared to current high-performance memory modules and perfectly match with the most advanced processor front-side bus. They are designed for end-users who do not want to overclock their systems. Due to the low power features of its DDR2 memory products, Infineon is the only DRAM supplier who abandons the usage of an extra heatspreader which is standard for high-speed modules with data rates of 800Mbs.
Infineon is sampling dual-die-based 8-Gbyte DDR2-400 tall registered DIMMs for proprietary server applications which are not based on Intel or AMD chip sets. The new module consists of 36 dual-die-based 2-Gbit DDR2 components, realized by stacking two 1-Gbit DDR2 SDRAMs in one package. Dual-die technology allows doubling of the maximum memory density while increasing component height by only 0.1mm.
With a 4.1mm module thickness and 55mm height, the 8-Gbyte DDR2-400 tall registered DIMMs are about 40% thinner than comparable solutions, hence outperforming customers' requirements for stacked solutions. Thinner modules are beneficial for airflow and thermal conditions in current high-end server systems. Thermal conditions are further improved by the use of the Infineon low-power DDR2 components.
Infineon offers DDR2-800 unbuffered modules with densities of 256 Mbytes and 512 Mbytes. The 256-Mbyte and 512-Mbyte modules are based on Infineon's 256-Mbit DDR2 components. Samples of the 256-Mbyte and 512-Mbyte modules are available to customers now. Volume production is planned to start in June 2005.
