Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) memory modules also have a refresh rate.
However, the physical format of the memory modules was standardized on a design called a Single Inline Memory Module (SIMM).
The triple-channel controller will appear on both desktop and server/workstation offerings, and it will support three memory modules per channel.
Late last month, Samsung provided 1.2-V 2-Gbyte DDR4 unbuffered dual in-line memory modules (UDIMM) to a controller maker for testing.
With its introduction of the PentiumⅡ processor, Intel Corp. established a new physical design for the memory modules, called the Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), which effectively paired the SIMMs in a single package.
No launch dates have been announced yet but it is likely to be adopted by a select few manufacturers as prices are expected to be sky high for such memory modules.
