Kingston launches fully buffered DIMM memory modules

Company News

New Delhi, April 18

Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent worldwide leader in memory products, today announced the release of its new line of Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules (FB-DIMM). As the leading independent manufacturer of memory modules, Kingston made an early and strategic decision to commit major resources to support next generation memory technology like FB-DIMM thus becoming a leading manufacturer and supplier of FB-DIMM memory to Intel and the industry.

Kingston’s FB-DIMM modules are a high-speed, high-density memory solution for related technology workstation and server platforms. Kingston’s FB-DIMMs will offer memory flexibility and more expansion options, opening new horizons in memory technology. Kingston’s FB-DIMMs resolve the DDR2 memory speed vs. capacity bottleneck and comply with JEDEC standards. FB-DIMM memory architecture allows up to six memory channels with each channel supporting up to eight dual-rank memory modules and allows for two channels to simultaneously read and write in concurrent transactions.

Already a strategic FB-DIMM supplier to major OEMs, Kingston’s FB-DIMMs provide a solution to many signal integrity and quality concerns. “FB-DIMM architecture increases server memory capacity from 8 GB to 192 GB at a high speed based on a 4GB-module configuration, a twenty-four-fold increase.” said Scott Chen, Vice President, APAC Business Development, Kingston. “In addition to higher capacity, FB-DIMMs will have a peak bandwidth four times greater than standard DDR2 server modules,” continued Scott.

Benefits of using Kingston’s FB-DIMM technology on high-end servers include scalability, flexibility, and higher capacity while the same new technology will increase speed and performance.

Kingston engineers have developed special boards and test-programs that are used to conduct “parametric” and characterization testing on high-end Agilent testers to ensure that FB-DIMMs are functional and comply with specifications. Kingston’s FB-DIMMs come with a lifetime warranty and free technical support plus the legendary reliability that makes Kingston the leader in memory.

Kingston FB-DIMM Features and Specifications:

· Tested at 533 MHz for optimal performance

· 1.8 Volts operation

· Operational enhancements to increase memory performance, efficiency and timing margins

· Latency timings: 4-4-4
