Samsung develops new DRAM memory tech for data centres

Seoul: Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday it has developed a new DRAM memory technology based on the Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect standard that can upgrade the performances of data centres.

Samsung unveiled the industry’s first Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) DRAM memory module that supports the advanced CXL interface.

CXL is an open industry-standard interconnect based on the PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 interface that enables high-speed, low latency communication between the host processor and devices, such as accelerators, memory buffers and smart input/output devices.
