Nope, the spec is listed as 4000 to 6400 with expectations to expand to 8000. The difference is it has to be stable at the 1.1v to get the jedec stamp of approval. This imc is likely to lead to the first expansion of spec.
I wonder which RCD Kingston, V Color and G.Skill use as they all have 6800 RDIMMs on the market.
None of the kits over 5600 that I've seen adhere to JEDEC standards. These seem to be aimed at the workstation market as they're coded with XMP and/or EXPO for use with Xeon W and Threadripper.
The article is a bit misleading: "The new Rambus chip also packs a serial presence detect (SPD) hub and temperature sensors, which are vital for DDR5 memory sticks on general and DDR5 datacenter memory modules in particular"
This implies that the SPD Hub and Temp Sensor functionality is integrated onto the same chip as the RCD. This is not the case. The Rambus website refers to each of these separate/discrete devices as part of the "DDR5 DIMM Chipset".
Finally, Rambus is getting back up in stock price! Purchase this stock at $135 a share back in the middle 1996-97? Long time ago and went as low as $9? I did not average down but held on to it since it had good amount of cash per share. It at now $65 and went as high as $71. I just want to breakeven! LOL!

Isn't DDR5-6400 already over the JEDEC specified limits? Wouldn't server owners not go for such over-clocked speeds?Eagle07 - Wednesday, January 3, 2024 - link

Interesting, because regular MBs currently list DDR5-6000 and above as "O.C.".thestryker - Thursday, January 4, 2024 - link
