Insights
Rambus's unveiling of industry-first complete chipsets for next-generation DDR5 MRDIMMs and RDIMMs is a significant leap forward in memory technology. The new Gen5 DDR5 RCD for RDIMMs at 8,000 MT/s and MRCD and MDB chips for MRDIMMs at 12,800 MT/s represent a substantial performance boost over current standards.
The introduction of MRDIMMs is particularly noteworthy, as it effectively doubles the bandwidth of the DIMM beyond native DRAM speeds. This innovative multiplexing approach allows for increased data transfer rates without changing the physical connections, which is important for compatibility and adoption in server platforms.
The second-generation server PMIC (PMIC5030) is also a key component, supporting both RDIMM 8000 and MRDIMM 12800 with high current at low voltage. This is essential for powering the increased number of DRAM and logic chips on these high-performance modules.
For investors, this positions Rambus at the forefront of memory technology for data centers and AI applications, potentially leading to increased market share and revenue growth in the coming years as these technologies are adopted.
Rambus's introduction of these cutting-edge chipsets could significantly impact its financial performance. The company is positioning itself as a leader in high-performance memory solutions for data centers and AI applications, which are rapidly growing markets.

Investors should note that while the immediate financial impact may not be reflected in the next quarter's results, the long-term potential is significant. As these new chipsets are adopted by major server manufacturers, Rambus could see increased revenue and potentially higher profit margins due to the advanced nature of these products.
However, it's important to consider that the semiconductor industry is highly competitive and cyclical. The success of these products will depend on factors such as adoption rates, pricing strategies and the company's ability to scale production to meet demand.
Highlights:
- Introduces industry’s first Gen5 DDR5 RCD for RDIMMs at 8,000 MT/s, MRCD and MDB chips for next-generation MRDIMMs at 12,800 MT/s, and a second-generation server PMIC to support both

The new Rambus chips include:
- The Gen5 Registering Clock Driver (RCD), enabling RDIMMs operating at 8000 megatransfers per second (MT/s).
- The Multiplexed Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) and Multiplexed Data Buffer (MDB), enabling upcoming MRDIMMs running at speeds up to 12,800 MT/s by doubling the bandwidth of the DIMM beyond the native DRAM device speed.
- The second-generation server Power Management IC (PMIC5030) designed for both DDR5 RDIMM 8000 and MRDIMM 12800, providing ultra-high current at low voltage to support higher speeds and more DRAM and logic chips per module.
“The voracious memory demands of AI and HPC require the relentless pursuit of higher performance through continued innovation and technology leadership,” said Sean Fan, chief operating officer at Rambus. “With our 30-plus years of renowned high-speed signal integrity and memory system expertise, the Rambus Gen5 RCD, and next-generation MRCD, MDB, and PMIC will be critical enabling chips in future-generation servers leveraging DDR5 RDIMM 8000 and MRDIMM 12800.”
Enabling flexible and scalable end-user server configuration, the DDR5 RDIMM 8000 and industry-standard MRDIMM 12800 utilize a common architecture with compatibility across server platforms. The DDR5 RDIMM 8000 chipset includes the Gen5 RCD, PMIC5030, Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Hub and Temperature Sensor (TS) chips. The DDR5 MRDIMM 12800 chipset includes the MRCD and MDB, as well as the same PMIC5030, SPD Hub and TS chips utilized in the RDIMM 8000.
The DDR5 MRDIMM 12800 employs a novel and efficient module design that boosts data transfer rates and system performance by multiplexing two ranks of DRAM, effectively interleaving the two data streams. This allows the host memory bus to run at twice the data rate of the native DRAM devices, thus increasing bandwidth while using the same physical connections of DDR5 RDIMMs. This requires an MRCD that can address the two ranks of DRAMs on alternate clock cycles, as well as MDBs to direct the data stream to and from the correct DRAM devices. Each DDR5 MRDIMM 12800 requires one MRCD and ten MDB chips to multiplex the memory channel. The MRCD and MDB will also support a Tall MRDIMM form factor with four ranks of DDR5 DRAMs for double the capacity of a dual-rank RDIMM in a cost-effective manner.
The Gen5 RCD, MRCD, MDB and PMIC5030 are part of the growing Rambus portfolio of industry-leading memory interface and power management solutions including Gen1 to Gen4 RCD, Client Clock Driver (CKD), Server PMIC, SPD Hub, and TS chips.
