ADATA has just signed a partnership contract with MSI and Gigabyte . This partnership involves developing DDR5 memory to be compatible with their motherboards. ADATA is one of the memory manufacturers such as TEAMGROUP who will launch their DDR5 memories on the market at the end of this year. These memories allow a greater communication bandwidth to properly serve processors which have an increasingly high number of cores.
ADATA announces that it will eventually be able to produce DDR5 memories with a memory bandwidth of up to 8400 MT per second with a capacity of 64 GB . These memories will include ECC modules which will automatically correct memory errors. This is good news for users and programmers such as Linus Torvald who was complaining about the absence of ECC modules on Intel's memory components. These memories require a power power supply of 1.1 Volts to operate. ADATA has therefore signed a long-term contract with MSI and Gigabyte. The company will mainly optimize Intel platforms according to the press release issued by ADATA. AMD will not be left out although it was not mentioned because technically speaking, there would be no incompatibility. This is only a marketing cost and to respond to the strong criticism received by Intel recently. It will also make sure to produce memories that can be overclocked by users.
AMD and Intel have not yet officially commented on the new DDR5 memory. But we know that it will be supported for example by Intel with its high-performance hybrid processors such as Alder Lake in the desktop area. As for AMD, this memory will eventually be included with the new latest generation Ryzen processors based on the Zen 4 architecture, to name only those of the 4th generation EPYC servers . This memory will also be supported by the mobile sector. All this will normally only be in place from 2022.
