Team Group Develops Next-Gen DDR5 SO-DIMM

[btarunr]

Leading global memory brand TEAMGROUP continues to make its mark on the next generation of DDR5 memory. At the end of last year, the company announced that it had entered the validation phase with the collaboration of major motherboard manufacturers. In early 2021, it has made another breakthrough. Paying attention to the needs of not only desktop but also notebook and mini PC users, TEAMGROUP has successfully created DDR5 SO-DIMM and is expected to be the first to take Intel and AMD's new platform validation tests.

Specifications of the DDR5 SO-DIMM at the early stage of development resemble those of the U-DIMM version. A single module has a capacity of 16 GB and a frequency of 4800 MHz, and both versions run at the lowered voltage of 1.1 V. For notebooks that need to stay mobile for a long period of time, this can noticeably reduce power consumption and extend standby time. DDR5 SO-DIMM also supports on-die ECC, a feature that self-corrects single-bit errors, greatly improving system stability. Users can look forward to the convenience and peace of mind that DDR5 will bring to notebooks, mini PCs, NAS, and more.



TEAMGROUP emphasizes that the product specifications it has published are from successfully developed products, and it will continue to work closely with motherboard manufacturers to achieve higher specifications. The company hopes to provide consumers with a wide range of specifications and stable compatibility from the very beginning of its product launches. With its strategy of steady technology advancement, TEAMGROUP is ready to take the lead in the next generation of memory modules.

Wow... I didn'k even know about the current-gen DDR5 SO-DIMM, yet they're developing the Next-Gen if it.

Gotta love this corporate marketing gibberish. People who write this are either fairly fanatical or have a good laugh every time. In particular, I love how they sell features required for the product to just work like it's something they invented and meticulously crafted for the consumer's satisfaction. "We have on-die ECC to magically make your data safer and magic magic magic. Absolutely not because DDR5 signalling is complex, marketing drones told us they need better numbers to put on a box so we had to push this thing to the limit with lower voltage than the previous generation which only serves to make our life harder, and the hardware you use is hot garbage built to a price, so ECC is needed to just avoid errors caused by your cheap, barely EMI qualified motherboard.

Why is bad ECC on this module exactly?

Why is bad ECC on this module exactly?

Where did I say there's anything bad about it?
With DDR5 it's done on-die for the memory to just work, as in, "signal degradation makes this memory completely unusable for anything without serious error correction". What I mean by this, ECC is needed for any DDR5 memory module to just work within basic spec, it's not something this particular (or any) corporation created with consumers in mind. It's like selling a bridge, saying that it's great because it has no holes and probably will not cause instant death while using it. It always makes me giggle when corporations try to use basic specs as a selling point and their great achievement.

Hi,
Wonder if they finally added a temp sensor

They are just following JDEC spec.

But ehm; having their own voltage controllers rather then being on the motherboard, are we getting the end of memory overclocking as well? DDR5 is now getting 12V as a base supply voltage and the memory stick pretty much dictates now which voltage the chips should be getting.

Ah ok, I didn't know that they had already a form of ECC by default, I didn't understand your first post.
