Performance Highlights of A-DATA Industrial Memory Solutions
High-Speed Transfer, Low Voltage, Optimized Power Management
DDR5 memory offers a maximum transfer rate of 6.4 Gbps, double that of DDR4's 3.2 Gbps. The DIMM operating voltage of DDR5 has been reduced from 1.2V in DDR4 to 1.1V, enhancing energy efficiency, while incorporating advanced power management and precise system power load control.
Higher Memory Frequencies
DDR5 doubles the bandwidth of DDR4, with a transmission bandwidth increase of approximately 38%. Its 5600 MHz frequency represents a 75% increase over DDR4's 3200 MHz. Looking ahead, the upper limit of DDR5 frequencies is projected to reach 8400 MHz, continually augmenting system bandwidth.
Looking forward, A-DATA Industrial and Advantech will collaborate to drive innovation in smart edge computing, consistently delivering leading products and services tailored to the needs of various industries.
