Overview
- Micron said Tuesday it is sampling 256GB DDR5 registered server memory modules that reach up to 9,200 MT/s.
- The design uses 1-gamma DRAM with 3D die stacking and through-silicon vias to pack more memory into one module.
- Micron reports a single 256GB module draws 11.1 watts versus 19.4 watts for two 128GB modules, which cuts operating power by over 40%.
- The company is working with server ecosystem partners to validate the modules across current and next-generation platforms before production.
- Some reports describe the parts as shipping, but Micron’s official statement characterizes current availability as sampling.
