, which is crucial for new-generation servers that can feature twelve or more microprocessor cores per socket.Posted on 09/16/2013 7:57:31 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
Crucial on Thursday announced the 64GB LRDIMM (load-reduced dual-inline memory module) for new-generation servers. Load-reduced DIMMs enable users to populate more DIMMs per channel for up to twice the installed memory capacity of a server, which is crucial for new-generation servers that can feature twelve or more microprocessor cores per socket.
The 64GB Crucial DDR3L LRDIMMs operates using 1.35V, unlike the 1.5V common in DDR3 RDIMMs, making the new module more energy-efficient and cost-effective, especially in large deployments. The modules work at 1333MHz clock-rate with CAS latency 9. These modules offer up to a 35% increase in memory bandwidth per server compared to standard DIMMs (which operate at 1066MHz), and eliminate the channel ranking limitation of standard DDR3 registered DIMMs.
Since Crucial LRDIMMs transmit power in a more efficient manner to the CPU (via the data path buffer), they use less voltage, which allows for additional power savings. These new memory modules are also compatible with OEM servers and warranties, allowing users to upgrade their existing server infrastructures without having to purchase an entirely new system. Crucial LRDIMMs fully support the latest Intel Xeon processor E5 2600v2 “Ivy Bridge-EP” family.
“For memory-intensive server applications such as cloud computing, virtualization, and in-memory databases, optimizing the capabilities of new or existing hardware is by far a more cost-effective solution than purchasing additional servers. The new 64GB Crucial LRDIMMs allow servers to reach the maximum amount of installed memory possible, which can enable dramatic performance gains in memory bandwidth and overall server productivity, all while reducing power costs relative to adding additional servers,” said Michael Moreland, worldwide DRAM product marketing manager at Crucial.
Crucial DDR3L LRDIMMs server memory is halogen-free and RoHS compliant. Available in densities up to 64GB and kits up to 192GB, the 64GB LRDIMM will be available to purchase in early calendar Q4 2013. Crucial LRDIMMs are backed by a limited lifetime warranty and are rigorously tested to meet or exceed the high-quality performance specifications customers have come to expect from Crucial.
There is a revolution foing on and I am not sure anyone is noticing.
Intel is talking about fabrication of microprocessors of 10 nm in a few years and they just bought a couple of small companies in Isreal and Spain.
The latter is a specialist in AI...
From Fudzilla:
Intel buys some extra intelligence
*****************EXCERPT*****************
The outfit focuses on natural language recognition and the deal is worth $26 million. It follows Intel's recent acquisition of Omek, an Israeli startup with specialties in gesture-based interfaces. Indisys employees have joined Intel already. Apparently the deal was signed on May 31 and the deal has been completed.
There is a revolution going on and I am not sure anyone is noticing.
I remember when the first 64K and 256K RAM’s were a big deal.
gesture based?

Awesome. We’ve been at a loggerheads for years in CPUs, and overcame that with multi-core processors about 8 years ago. There have only been relatively small steps in transistor technology for CPUs since then. I remember well how CPU manufacturers were bamboozled at how to get below at 45nm fab. Capitalism and free market always finds a way, God bless it.
All that is needed is software....and operating systems....which is LABOR INTENSIVE,...And where is the largest Labor Force in the world....CHINA!
Trying to find the comment regarding how many transistors could be placed in the width of a human hair....be back when I find it.
Perhaps in time I will get back into the Linux world.

Monopoly or not, it's the future in making. Astonishing.
The diameter of human hair varies from 17 to 180 micrometers, so you can lay at least 18 million (!!) 7nm transistors onto a section of the tiniest human hair.
18 million for God's sake.

How many tiny-tiny transistors do we need to make a microprocessor that can handle voice recognition and gestures?
I do not want a computer that watches my gestures
LOL!
/johnny
Gestures would be a way to manupulate the computer....rather than a mouse and keyboard..voice recognition would help too!

A micrometre is an SI unit of length equal to 1000000 of a metre. It is also commonly known as a micron. It can be written as 1 m / 1,000,000.
A nanometre is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand-millionth of a metre, which is the current SI base unit of length. It can be written as 1 m / 1,000,000,000.
