DRAM manufacturer Nanya announced on April 27, 2024, that it will supply LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 memory modules for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. NVIDIA Vera Rubin This development places Nanya within the supply chain for NVIDIA's upcoming Vera CPU architecture. The announcement relies on a report from Taiwanese media Economic Daily regarding industry information.
The Vera Rubin platform requires a specific memory configuration to function. One Vera CPU pairs with eight 128-bit SOCAMM2 modules to meet the system requirements. The platform demands a memory speed of 9600MT/s to achieve the necessary performance levels. The total memory bandwidth for this configuration reaches 1.2TB/s. Nanya currently lists a maximum LPDDR5X speed of 7500MT/s on its official website. This current specification falls short of the 9600MT/s requirement for the Vera Rubin platform.
The gap between Nanya's current capabilities and the platform requirement introduces uncertainty. LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 Nanya's current LPDDR5X speed is 7500MT/s, which is below the 9600MT/s requirement for the Vera Rubin platform. The company operates under the support of TSMC for this development. The availability date for Nanya's supply to the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is currently TBD.
Nanya targets NVIDIA Vera Rubin with LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 memory modules
Nanya seeks to supply LPDDR5X SOCAMM2 memory modules for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, although its current maximum speed of 7500MT/s falls short of the required 9600MT/s. Nanya's current LPDDR5X modules operate at a maximum of 7500MT/s, which is below the 9600MT/s requirement for the Vera Rubin platform. Nanya's ability to meet the 9600MT/s specification will determine its eligibility to supply memory for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. The global availability for the Vera Rubin platform remains to be determined.
