Validation on 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processor for Kingston Server Premier DDR5 4,800MT/s Registered DIMMS

Kingston Technology Europe Co LLP, an affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., announced its 64, 32, and 16GB Server Premier DDR5 4,800MT/s Registered DIMMs have been validated on the 4th gen Xeon Scalable Processor (formerly codenamed Sapphire Rapids).

For over 35 years the company has been the memory brand trusted by server manufacturers and largest data centers. Server Premier is the firm’s industry standard memory solution sold by spec for use in white-box servers, and is platform validated and qualified by motherboard/system manufacturers. Featuring a locked BOM (Bill of Materials) to provide a consistent brand and revision of primary components (including DRAM, register, PMIC, SPD hub, thermal sensors, and PCB), all the company’s server memory solutions are tested and undergo a dynamic burn-in process designed to catch early-life failures at the factory.

Server Premier features include: 

• Locked BOM)
  
• Part Change Notifications (PCN) – 90 days 
• 8Q roadmap visibility 
• Server platform validation 
• Leading server motherboard manufacturer qualification 
• Limited lifetime warranty 
• Industry service and support  

4th gen Xeon Scalable Processor is their first to support next-gen DDR5 server-class memory and features 8 memory channels, arranged in up to 2 DIMMs per channel, or 16 DIMMs per CPU socket. At 4,800MT/s, each DDR5 Registered DIMM provides a peak bandwidth of 38.4GB/s, which when grouped in multi-channel configurations provides a marked increase in performance over DDR4-based servers. DDR5 introduces features for a more reliable and more efficient memory subsystem, including on-die ECC (ODECC), double the number of banks and double the burst length, improved refreshes, inclusion of a power management circuit (PMIC), additional temperature sensors, decision feedback equalization (DFE), and dual independent 32-bit subchannels (40-bit for ECC).

“We’re excited to announce the validation of our next-generation server memory parts on Intel’s 4th gen Xeon Scalable processor,” said Iwona Zalewska, DRAM business manager, Kingston, EMEA. “Validation is always the first step for memory manufacturers to demonstrate the quality and compatibility of their memory solutions. DDR5 delivers the technology to scale in bandwidth and capacity to meet the performance requirements of tomorrow’s data centers.”
