AMD patent proposes new memory module to double DDR5 speeds

The patent describes the development of high-bandwidth dual inline memory modules (HB-DIMMs) that use pseudo channels and specialized data routing to boost performance. Rather than re-engineering DRAM chips, AMD proposes coupling multiple DRAM devices to advanced data buffer chips. These buffers manage signal flow in a way that effectively doubles......
