Team Group Announces DDR5-6800 ECC RDIMM with XMP 3.0

Leading memory provider Team Group today has announced a breakthrough in specs for its newest DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory module, which has an increased clock rate of 5,600 MHz, meeting the JEDEC standard for high-performance specifications. In addition, the company has collaborated with well-known motherboard manufacturer ASRock to complete compatibility testing on HEDT platforms equipped with Intel 4th Gen Xeon processors, codenamed Sapphire Rapids, and W790 motherboards. The memory module not only fully supports XMP 3.0, it is also the overclocking DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory in the market today with a highest clock rate of 6,800 MHz.

Sapphire Rapids is Intel's first server processor to support DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory. When it's paired with the next-generation W790 workstation motherboard, users can adjust the CPU's overclocking settings in BIOS and enable the clock speed adjustment feature of DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory. Having undergone strict compatibility and stability testing, the JEDEC-compliant, high-frequency memory comes in both 16 GB and 32 GB capacity variants to meet the demand for workstation upgrades. The memory is also available in 6,400 MHz and 6,800 MHz models with XMP 3.0 support, providing next-gen HEDT platforms with cutting-edge performance.
To meet the diverse needs of HEDT workstation applications, DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory is designed with 30µ gold fingers, features dual ECC, and is equipped with a high-precision temperature sensor to increase endurance and reduce thermal issues during overclocking. Team Group is committed to creating the highest-quality products and offering innovative and diverse storage and memory solutions. As platform technologies continue to evolve, the company will work hand-in-hand with consumers around the world to create a new generation of high-speed DDR5 memory and provide revolutionary breakthroughs.

I don't understand this poorly written sentence and press release. This is the worst one I've seen in a while.
"The memory module not only fully supports XMP 3.0, it is also the overclocking DDR5 ECC R-DIMM memory in the market today with a highest clock rate of 6,800 MHz."

Just one.
Is "also" what exactly?

And if this is overclocking memory of JDEC 5,600 MHz what is this by comparison?:
"The memory is also available in 6,400 MHz and 6,800 MHz models with XMP 3.0 support, providing next-gen HEDT platforms with cutting-edge performance."

The whole first paragraph is dedicated to saying you can overclock 5,600MHz to 6,800MHz?

Just how many memory kits are being offered?
"high-frequency memory comes in both 16 GB and 32 GB capacity variants to meet the demand for workstation upgrades."

Is that per module memory stick sold individually OR one kit is 2 x 8 and the other 2 x 16?
This is server memory correct? R-DIMM.

Is there a new consumer telephone number I can call and get personalized service? No extra fee for this, correct. Good to see post pandemic jobs are on the rise.

What would make me run out and buy this today based on this press release?

I'd love to know which kind of ECC we're talking about. The old differentiation between simply ECC and non-ECC doesn't apply to DDR5 any more. If I remember correctly, there's now always some kind of ECC support with DDR5 (On-die ECC), but not what we used to refer to as ECC.

There are still ECC UDIMMs (unregistered dimm) just like before for desktop-ish platforms, and RDIMMs (registered dimm) for server and the like.

I think this is primarily for the recently announced xeon w-2400 and w-3400, it's the only platform I can think of that supports RDIMMs and might still have XMP enabled

Worth a look:

But yes, this kit is (these kits are?) meant for the new Sapphire Rapids HEDT processors. It's just that with DDR5 you need to be careful with ECC. It may not be what you expected (on-die only).

If the photo is accurate then this module has 10 memory ICs, 5 for each sub-channel which suggests proper ECC. This is also the reason for a relative increase in price for ECC in DDR5 - 2 more ICs per DIMM (for single rank) instead of 1 more in DDR4.

This is a RDIMM; it's extremely unlikely that it doesn't have proper ECC.

RDIMM vs UDIMM. These are proper RDIMMs released to be used in conjunction with Intel's W790 which supports overclocking/XMP/etc with Sapphire Rapids Xeon W.

"Nothing" changed, you still have regular UDIMM, ECC UDIMM, ECC RDIMM and ECC LRDIMM (there may be also non-ECC RDIMM and LRDIMM but who'd want that!?)

DDR5 has on die ecc that can correct errors before data is transmited but there still are proper ECC DIMMs to correct errors in transit between RAM and CPU with the corresponding extra chip. And fucking Intel still doesn't allow you to use proper ECC unless you pay for a very expensive W680 board :nutkick:

You have to look for the same exact things you'd look before, just ignore the on die ecc.

I'll attempt to interpret the likely google translated press release:
-The R-DIMM base clocks are JEDEC 5600, but they're selling two speeds of kits at XMP 3.0 6400/6800
-Capacity is per DIMM as these are for Xeon W which means they'll be 4/8 channel kits

The press release mentions "dual ECC" which would indicate they're proper ECC R-DIMMs.
