alt Hacker NewsI have not seen that yet DDR5, I think the signal integrity requirements are too high now to even have unused pads open. Most sticks don’t appear to have many traces at all on the top/bottom sides, just big power/ground planes.
Also with DDR5 each stick is actually 2 channels so you get 2 extra dies.
There's some new half assed ECC type of RAM, not sure the name.
Was reading a series of displeased posts about it. Can't seem to find it now.
