SK hynix Completes Customer Validation of CXL 2.0-based DDR5
SEOUL, South Korea, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", announced today that it has completed customer validation of 96GB CMM(CXL [1] Memory Module)-DDR5, a DRAM solution product based on CXL 2.0. The company said that it can process 36GB/s due to a 50% increase in capacity when the product is applied to the server systems and a 30% improvement in the bandwidth compared to previous DDR5 modules. This can contribute to drastically reducing the total cost of ownership [2] by customers in building and operating data centers. Following the 96GB product validation, the company is proceeding with the validation process for 128GB product with another customer. This product, equipped with 32Gb DDR5 DRAM using the 1bnm process, or the fifth-generation of the 10-nanometer technology, has high performance per watt [3]. The company plans to complete the ongoing 128GB validation as soon as possible to establish a CXL product portfolio to support customers in a timely manner. SK hynix is making efforts to expand the CXL ecosystem along with the development of CXL DRAM. The company developed HMSDK [4], software optimized for CMM-DDR5 and integrated it on Linux, the world's largest open-source operating system, in September, improving the performance of CXL applied systems. "We are developing various solution products to fulfill Optimal Innovation [5] in order to overcome the limitation of high cost and scalability of the existing system," said Uksong Kang, Head of Next Gen PP&E. "We will provide optimized value to customers by dramatically improving the scalability and the flexibility of memory while meeting customers' different needs." About SK hynix Inc.

SK hynix completes customer validation of DDR5 memory chips
SK hynix Inc. said Wednesday its 96 gigabyte double data rate 5 memory chips have passed customer validation, marking a key step toward production readiness. The new product, known as CMM-DDR5, is a dynamic random access memory solution for data center servers. When integrated into server systems, it can process data at speeds of up to 36GB per second. Compared to earlier DDR5 modules, the new chips offer a 50 percent increase in capacity and a 30 percent improvement in bandwidth performance, according to SK hynix. It is based on Compute Express Link 2.0 technology, a next-generation interface that efficiently connects central processing unit, graphic processing unit, memory and other components in high-performance computing systems to support massive, ultra-fast computation. SK hynix said it is also proceeding with the validation process for a 128GB product with another customer. The company plans to complete the ongoing 128GB validation as soon as possible to establish a CXL product portfolio to support customers in a timely manner. (Yonhap)
