SK hynix’s 5th‑generation 10nm‑class server DRAM product has passed Intel’s compatibility certification process for its latest server platform, the first such case in the industry.

SK hynix announced on the 18th that its “256GB Double Data Rate (DDR)5 Registered Dual In-line Memory Module (RDIMM),” a 32Gb-based high-capacity server DRAM module product, has passed Intel’s data center certification process for application to Intel’s data center processor “Xeon 6” platform. RDIMM is a server and workstation DRAM module to which a register or buffer chip is added between the memory controller and DRAM chips on the memory module to relay address and command signals.

The certification process was conducted at Intel’s Advanced Data Center Development Lab, an advanced research facility in the United States. At this site, SK hynix underwent several rounds of multidimensional evaluation and received assessments that the product shows no issues in reliable performance, compatibility, or quality when combined with the Xeon platform. In January, the company had already obtained certification for its 10nm‑class 4th‑generation (1a) 16Gb-based 256GB product.

SK hynix stated, “By becoming the first in the industry to verify compatibility with the latest server platform of Intel, a leader in the server central processing unit (CPU) market, the company has proven that its DDR5 module technology is at a global top level,” adding, “We will expand cooperation with major global data center operators and respond in a timely manner to surging demand from server customers to continue our leadership in the next‑generation memory market.”
