Kingston Launches Fully Buffered DIMM Memory Modules
Kingston FB-DIMMs Offer Cutting-Edge Solutions, Driving the Market to a New Standard by Breaking the 16GB-Memory Barrier.
Fountain Valley, CA (April 5, 2006), Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent worldwide leader in memory products, today announced the release of its new line of Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules (FB-DIMM). As the leading independent manufacturer of memory modules, Kingston made an early and strategic decision to commit major resources to support next generation memory technology like FB-DIMM thus becoming a leading manufacturer and supplier of FB-DIMM memory to Intel and the industry.
Kingstons FB-DIMM modules are a high-speed, high-density memory solution for related technology workstation and server platforms. Kingstons FB-DIMMs will offer memory flexibility and more expansion options, opening new horizons in memory technology. Kingstons FB-DIMMs resolve the DDR2 memory speed vs. capacity bottleneck and comply with JEDEC standards. FB-DIMM memory architecture allows up to six memory channels with each channel supporting up to eight dual-rank memory modules and allows for two channels to simultaneously read and write in concurrent transactions.
Already a strategic FB-DIMM supplier to major OEMs, Kingstons FB-DIMMs provide a solution to many signal integrity and quality concerns. FB-DIMM architecture increases server memory capacity from 8 GB to 192 GB at a high speed based on a 4GB-module configuration, a twenty-four-fold increase. said J.K. Tsai, director of technology, Kingston. In addition to higher capacity, FB-DIMMs will have a peak bandwidth four times greater than standard DDR2 server modules, continued Tsai.
Benefits of using Kingstons FB-DIMM technology on high-end server include scalability, flexibility, and higher capacity while the same new technology will increase speed and performance.
Kingston engineers have developed special boards and test-programs that are used to conduct parametric and characterization testing on high-end Agilent testers to ensure that FB-DIMMs are functional and comply with specifications. Kingstons FB-DIMMs come with a lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support plus the legendary reliability that makes Kingston the leader in memory.
