Industry needs availability on a wide range of servers
When 32GB HCDIMMs become available, they will be the memory module of choice in the 32GB segment.
This will be applicable to both the regular Romley servers as well as the non-Intel-POR (plan-of-record) servers like the IBM x3750 M4 server.
The reason is that:
– HCDIMMs are RDIMM-compatible
– HCDIMMs run at higher speed than LRDIMMs
– HCDIMMs outperform LRDIMMs in latency and throughput even when HCDIMMs are run at the lower same speeds as LRDIMM
Their qualification on a wide range of servers is essential for the industry to get access to the best memory available.
