Leading memory brand Team Group has continued to develop its industrial products in line with the demands of industrial customers. By integrating key technologies with its excellent R&D capabilities and focusing research on the diverse needs of industrial customers, Team Group has been able to develop a storage IC sorting technology and a durable storage device technology with anti-sulfuration and high voltage protections. These innovations have obtained Taiwan Invention Patents No. I751093 and I771910 as well as a U.S. Invention Patent, targeting emerging markets such as 5G, edge computing, and electric vehicles, meeting the requirements of industrial clients in a wide variety of environments.

As emerging 5G industrial applications becoming more diverse, memory stability and reliability have become increasingly difficult to maintain. Since, on one hand, memory retains data in a shorter period of time as in harsh environments and, on the other hand, industrial-grade memory that strives for stability requires longer data retention, the new IC sorting technology was designed to test whether the data retention of a memory device is within a safe range by means of an interrupting charge method. It is also used to ensure each of the sorted ICs is able to operate in the wide range of temperature and analyze whether the memory can be used stably under certain environments. Team Group's another innovation, the durable storage device technology, uses anti-sulfurated and high voltage resistant passive components placed on a specially designed multi-layer printed circuit board to protect against high voltages, surges, and sulfurization.

According to the latest TrendForce research, pandemic-induced materials shortages abated in the second half of this year and the supply and delivery of short-term materials has recovered significantly. However, assuming materials supply is secure and demand can be met, the annual growth rate of server shipments in 2023 is estimated to be only 3.7%, which is lower than 5.1% in 2022.

TrendForce indicates that this growth slowdown is due to three factors. First, once material mismatch issues had eased, buyers began adjusting previously placed purchase order overruns. Thus, ODM orders also decreased but this will not affect the 2022 shipment volume of whole servers for the time being. Second, due to the impact of rising inflation and weakness in the overall economy, corporate capital investment may trend more conservative and IT-related investment will emphasize flexibility, such as the replacement of certain server terminals with cloud services. Third, geopolitical changes will drive the continuing emergence of demand for small-scale data centers and previous construction of hyperscale data centers will slow. The recent ban on military/HPC servers issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on October 7 has a very low market share in terms of its application category, so the impact on the overall server market is limited at present. However, if the scope of the ban is expanded further in the future, it will herald a more significant slowdown risk for China's server shipment momentum in 2023.

Amid the fog of rapid announcements and AIC graphics card launches, this little, interesting detail might have missed you, but the new GeForce RTX 4080 12 GB graphics card announced yesterday; features a memory bus-width of just 192-bit, which is half that of the RTX 3080 12 GB (384-bit). The card uses 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory, which at 192-bit bus-width, works out to just 504 GB/s bandwidth. In comparison, the RTX 3080 12 GB uses 19 Gbps GDDR6X memory, which at 384-bit bus width, produces 912 GB/s. In fact, even the original RTX 3080 with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 320-bit bus, has 760 GB/s on tap.

The bigger RTX 4080 16 GB variant uses 256-bit memory bus, but faster 23 Gbps GDDR6X memory, producing 736 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which again, is less than that of the original 10 GB RTX 3080. It's only the RTX 4090 that has an unchanged amount of memory bandwidth over the previous generation—1008 GB/s, which is identical to that of the RTX 3090 Ti, and a tad higher than the 936 GB/s of the RTX 3090 (non-Ti). Of course, memory bandwidth is no way to compare the RTX 40-series from its predecessors, there are a dozen other factors that weigh into performance, and what matters is you're getting generationally more memory amounts with the RTX 4080-series. The RTX 4080 12 GB offers 20% more memory than the RTX 3080, and the RTX 4080 16 GB offers 33% more than the RTX 3080 12 GB. NVIDIA tends to deliver significant performance gains with each new generation, and we expect this to hold up.

AMD in its Discord AMA confirmed DDR5-6000 to be the "sweetspot" memory overclock for its upcoming Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors. A sweetspot frequency in AMD jargon is an inflection of performance, stability, cost, and ease. For the very first Ryzen, this was DDR4-3200. For Ryzen 2000, it was DDR4-3400. For the Ryzen 3000 "Zen 2," it climbed to DDR4-3800, the Ryzen 5000 "Zen 3" it was DDR4-4000.

At the architectural-level, it is usually the highest frequency where FClk, UClk, and MClk maintain a 1:1:1 ratio, before having to engage dividers that impact performance, making it a point of diminishing returns for investing in faster memory modules. AMD's Robert Hallock, leading the Discord AMA, recommended that FClk be left untouched at "Auto" for the best results, and overclockers look for an Auto:1:1 ratio for the FClk, UClk, and MClk. As with both AMD and Intel now, the highest frequencies are possible only with one single-rank DIMM per memory channel (1DPC), and memory overclocking yield lower results with dual-rank DIMMs, or two DIMMs per memory channel. Among the AMD EXPO-certified DIMMs announced over the past few days, some do engage memory clocks beyond DDR5-6000. It would be interesting to see how they affect the "golden ratio" for Zen 4.
