Kingston Announces Availability of DDR4-3200 Registered DIMMs for AMD EPYC 2nd Gen AMD EPYC Processor

Taipei, Taiwan – August 8, 2019 – Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced its 32GB, 16GB and 8GB Server Premier 3200MT/s DDR4 Registered DIMMs are available now to fully unleash the power of the new 2^nd Gen AMD EPYC^™ Processor (aka “Rome”).

Kingston’s Server Premier modules are specifically engineered to take full advantage of AMD’s latest eight-channel server microarchitecture. At 3200MT/s — the next-generation memory frequency supported in the latest AMD EPYC processor family — each DIMM provides peak bandwidth of 25.6GB/s. When grouped for multi-channel performance, this provides a significant boost in performance for today’s memory intensive server applications.

For over three decades, Kingston has been the memory brand that customers choose to power their data centers. Server Premier memory features a locked BOM (Bill of Materials) to ensure a consistent brand and revision of DRAM and undergoes rigorous, dynamic burn-in testing designed to root out early-life failures at the factory before being shipped out. A key component of the production test process is that Kingston simulates customer workloads on the very same motherboards that are found in their data centers.

      Server Premier features include:

·         Locked Bill of Materials (BOM)

·         Part Change Notifications (PCN) of 45-90 days

·         Server platform validation

·         Leading server motherboard manufacturer qualification

·         DDR4 speeds from 2400 – 3200MT/s

·         Lifetime warranty

·         Industry-leading service and support

“Our latest 3200MT/s memory modules have been thoroughly tested and are ready to be deployed in servers using ‘Rome,’ the new 2^nd Gen AMD EPYC processor,” said Kingston. “OEMs and the world’s leading data centers trust and standardize on Kingston and our Server Premier memory solutions. We work closely together with our customers and partners giving unprecedented technical guidance and access so they can maximize the memory performance in their data centers.”
