DDR5 Is on Our Doorstep
The talk of the town in the DRAM market (well, apart from its growth in the last couple of years) is DDR5. You might assume from the talk that JEDEC has finalized the standard, but it is actually technically still in development. I believe that the final standard is still expected before the end of the year.
At TSMC's OIP Ecosystem Forum, Cadence's Marc Greenberg and Micron's Ryan Baxter presented on DDR5 Challenges and Solutions. The two companies decided not to wait for the final ink to dry on the standard since engineering takes too long, so they agreed on a detailed spec that was close to what they expected the final standard to be.
