| Capacity and Performance |
On Figure 4 you can find a summary regarding FB-DIMM capacity and performance advantages.
Using regular DDR2 memory modules the maximum memory subsystem you can build is of 8 GB and 10 GB/s transfer rate, if you use four DDR2-DIMM sockets, two channels and DDR2-800 memories.
With FB-DIMM, the maximum capacity jumps to 192 GB and the transfer rate jumps to 40 GB/s, if you use 48 modules, six channels, eight modules per channel, using the same memories (DDR2-800).

FB-DIMM idea is really interesting and should solve the demand for high RAM capacity servers, especially if we think that new CPUs from both Intel and AMD can access far over 4 GB of RAM when using 64-bit operating systems. So far several memory manufacturers have already announced that they will manufacture FB-DIMM parts, including Samsung, Elpida, Infineon, Micron, Hynix, Nanya and Kingston. |
