First 8Gb DDR3 Components and 16GB Unbuffered DIMMs & SO-DIMMs by I'M Intelligent Memory
HONG KONG, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
I'M Intelligent Memory, a Hong Kong based fabless DRAM manufacturer, announces
availability of the world's first 8 Gigabit (Gb) DDR3 components with a single
chip-select, doubling the amount of memory per chip compared to other DDR3 DRAM devices on
the market. Based on these new 8Gb components, I'M is also introducing the first 16
Gigabyte (GB) DDR3 UDIMM and SO-DIMM memory modules with optional ECC error-correction.

The JEDEC specification JESD79-3 has always allowed an 8Gb density for DDR3 memory
devices. While most DRAM manufactures are waiting for a 2x nm process to fit such high
memory capacity into a single DRAM IC package, I'M has developed its own a revolutionary
way to manufacture 8Gb DDR3 components with single chip-select utilizing existing 30nm
manufacturing technologies.
The I'M 8Gb components are 100% compatible with the JEDEC standard pinout, timing and
row/column/bank addressing, providing the simplest path to higher density DDR3 upgrades.
These devices allow for a new level of memory capacity without altering existing
board-layouts or designs.
Orderable devices include a x8 (1Gx8) configuration in FBGA 78 ball package, a x16
(512Mx16) type in FBGA 96 ball package as well as a x32 (256Mx32) configuration in FBGA
136 ball package. In addition, I'M offers DDR3L low-voltage (1.35V) versions of these
devices. The products are available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
Based on their new 8Gb device, I'M releases the very first 16GB DDR3 240 Pin
unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) and 204 Pin SO-DIMMs to the market. These new high-capacity
memory modules are also available with a 72 Bit width for ECC error correction.
The 8Gb components and 16GB modules have been verified to be compatible with
processors and microcontrollers from AMD, Cavium, Freescale, Tilera and many others.
Intel currently supports 8Gb components and 16GB modules only on their Atom C2000
series (Codename 'Avoton') and Atom E3800 (Baytrail-I) processor series. New BIOS versions
for these platforms are required to use the memory and are available now.
For most standard Intel processors that are used in desktop PC's, laptops or servers,
Intel is not yet supporting the new high capacity memories. According to Intel, "it is not
POR" (-> Plan Of Record) for them to analyze the possibility to support them, unless they
can see a demand from the market for these new memory products.
Notebook, PC and motherboard manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo, Apple, Dell or others
may contact their Intel field representative to push and request a change of Intel's POR
to support the new memory through future BIOS/MRC updates. End-Customer may contact their
board-manufacturers customer-support to ask for compatibility of the memories. I'M is also
working with Intel to address this gap.
ASUS confirmed that it is now possible to upgrade their X79-DELUXE, RAMPAGE IV BLACK
EDITION and other ASUS X79 platform motherboards with 8 pieces of IM 16GB DDR3 modules to
reach a total of 128GB memory utilizing their newest own BIOS/MRC. Most Intel
LGA-2011-socket CPUs like Sandybridge E or Ivybridge E can be used on these ASUS X79
motherboards. By offering their own special BIOS and Memory Reference Code to support the
new memory on Intel CPU's, ASUS shows their engineering-expertise for high-end products.
Motherboard manufacturers such as ASRock, Supermicro, AIC, Portwell and others have
verified and approved the IM 16GB DDR3 memory modules for many motherboards based on AMD,
Tilera, Intel's C2000 'Avoton' series and other processors already.
The German company Rausch Netzwerktechnik announced their Intel Avoton-based 'Tormenta
Megacore Blade-System' to be upgradable to an impressive 12,800 GB of RAM with Intelligent
Memory 16GB ECC SO-DIMMs.
With the new I'M Intelligent Memory 8Gb DDR3 chips and high density DDR3 modules, I'M
sees potential markets in embedded/industrial, networking and telecommunication
applications, as well as PC, laptops, servers and microservers, allowing to reach
previously unattainable memory capacities.
