Intel IDF 2008: 16GB DDR3 Memory Modules With MetaRam

Post by Apoptosis »

Intel is demonstrating a server with 160GB of memory using Hynix DDR3 R-DIMMs and Meta SDRAM technology in the Advanced Technology Zone here at IDF this week. MetaRAM just announced their second-generation chipset that supports DDR3 memory today and we just happened to walk by the demo system. If you haven't seen a single platform with 160GB then take a look!

Each of the 18 memory modules in the server platform are 8GB (HMT31GR7AER4C-GC) 2-rank DIMMs by Hynix.

Interesting 16GB modules. Reminds me of my old school PC where more capacity usually meant a taller chip. :)

10 DDR3 slots? Jeebus!

That computer looks like it is wasting 70GBs of ram though... Unused RAM is wasted RAM!
