Samsung Launches 32 GB DDR3 RAM

samsung-50nmddr3chip_fullSamsung has recently launched RAM’s with a capacity of 32 GB,though these RAM’s are intended towards servers and not for our desktops or laptops.These Memory Modules are new 1.35 volt 32GB module for servers which perform at a 20% better throughput compared to previous 1.5 volt modules and a lower power consumption .

The 32 GB Ram basically  made up of 72 of those 4Gb memory chips, which are lined up in rows of nine quad-die packaged 16Gb DDR3s mounted on each side of the circuit board.Some believe this is a huge advancement in server technology, as with 32GB DIMMs, Intel’s Nehalem-EX platform will be able to have 512GB of DDR3 per *SOCKET* (16 DIMMS per socket * 32GB)! that is TWO TERABYTES of DDR3 on a four-socket server.So even a “low-end” 4-socket version of Nehalem-EX will have
- 32 cores
- 64 threads
- 96MB of L3 cache
- 2048 GB of DDR3 SDRAM running over 16 memory channels
- 16 Quickpath channels

The lower power consumption on each module could mean huge savings for servers.Though this would mean new technology for servers but our Home PC’s are still far away from the 32 GB rams which currently have 8GB DIMMs.
