SOCAMM2: Bringing LPDDR5X Benefits To AI Servers
By Piero Bianco - 14 May, 2026 - Comments: 0

The rapid scaling of artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every dimension of data center design. While much of the focus has been on GPUs, accelerators and advanced packaging, another constraint is emerging as equally critical: power. As AI models grow larger and more complex, power consumption, not raw compute, is increasingly the limiting factor in system scalability. Modern AI work... » read more

Memory For AI At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 18 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

Inferencing at the edge has very different needs than training large language models or large-scale inferencing in AI data centers. Many edge devices run on a battery. They're price-sensitive, and they are constrained by the physical area of the device. As a result, the amount of memory that can be packed into these devices is also limited. Steve Woo, Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, t... » read more

AI Inference Needs A Mix-And-Match Memory Strategy
By Raj Uppala - 12 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

AI inference is no longer a single workload that can be served efficiently by a single type of accelerator or memory. From fast chat replies to 10M token codebases, inference spans wildly diverse workloads with very different limits on latency, bandwidth, capacity, and compute, as the figure below demonstrates.1 Source: Meta1 The AI inference spectrum of workloads includes: Inter... » read more

The Evolution of DRAM
By Ed Sperling - 08 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 1

DRAM has been around since 1966, but today it's still the same basic 1T 1C bit cell architecture. Yet changes are coming as DRAM is called upon to store and retrieve more data faster. Steve Woo, distinguished inventor and fellow at Rambus, talks about how DRAM works, why there are different flavors, the impact of cooling new solutions in denser configurations, and ongoing issues involving the s... » read more

The client PC market is undergoing a transformative shift. As AI becomes a cornerstone of modern computing, the architecture of client systems—particularly notebooks and desktops—is being reimagined to support the immense data processing needs of these workloads. From real-time inferencing to generative applications, AI is redefining what performance means in a personal computer. With th... » read more

The Best DRAMs For Artificial Intelligence
By Bryon Moyer - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) involves intense computing and tons of data. The computing may be performed by CPUs, GPUs, or dedicated accelerators, and while the data travels through DRAM on its way to the processor, the best DRAM type for this purpose depends on the type of system that is performing the training or inference. The memory challenge facing engineering teams today is how to keep... » read more

Choosing The Right Memory Solution For AI Accelerators
By Tim Messegee - 16 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

To meet the increasing demands of AI workloads, memory solutions must deliver ever-increasing performance in bandwidth, capacity, and efficiency. From the training of massive large language models (LLMs) to efficient inference on endpoint devices, choosing the right memory technology is critical for chip designers. This blog explores three leading memory solutions—HBM, LPDDR, and GDDR—and t... » read more

LPDDR Memory Is Key For On-Device AI Performance
By Nidish Kamath - 24 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 1

Low-Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR) emerged as a specialized high performance, low power memory for mobile phones. Since its first release in 2006, each new generation of LPDDR has delivered the bandwidth and capacity needed for major shifts in the mobile user experience. Once again, LPDDR is at the forefront of another key shift as the next wave of generative AI applications will be built into ... » read more
