CXMT DRAM and Memory Modules

CXMT DDR5 chips provide working memory for computing systems and are also assembled into memory modules. Chip capacity and data width determine how the memory channel is built. Two designs with the same total capacity can therefore use different numbers and organizations of DRAM devices.

In a PC or workstation, DDR5 holds running applications, editing buffers and active project data. CXMT modules include UDIMM and SODIMM client formats and RDIMM server formats. A server also places memory across processor channels; supported module class, rank and slot rules determine a usable configuration, so adding capacity is more than finding a matching DDR5 label.
