Inphi's memory buffer validated by Intel

Inphi Corporation has announced that its Isolation Memory Buffer (iMB) 02-GS02A has completed a significant milestone for the component validation phase with Intel. Memory vendors are now suggested to use Inphi's iMB components to build memory modules for DIMM level qualification.

"Inphi is proud to have its memory buffer accomplish this milestone on the Romley-EP system," said Paul Washkewicz, Vice President of Marketing, Computing and Storage at Inphi. "We appreciate Intel's continued support as we managed this product development. We look forward to having our customers now complete the DIMM level qualification and ultimately bring LRDIMMs to market."

The iMB passed a rigorous component validation phase at Intel across a matrix of frequency, voltage, capacity and DIMM configurations. Inphi's iMB also met the required power consumption profile for thermal management. The objective of the Intel validation program for LRDIMMs is to verify compliance to the Intel specifications and to provide a guideline for memory compatibility with Intel chipsets.
