Penguin Solutions Unveils High-Bandwidth SMART Modular MRDIMM for Next-Generation AI Data Centres

The new memory module increases data-transfer speeds and offers optional Zefr® testing to improve reliability in demanding AI workloads.

FREMONT, California — Penguin Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PENG), an AI Factory Platform company, today announced its latest product: the SMART Modular DDR5 Multi-Ranked Dual In-line Memory Module (MRDIMM). The product expands its portfolio of memory solutions designed specifically for AI data centres. Operating at the industry-leading speed of DDR5-12800, the new MRDIMM addresses growing bandwidth demand driven by the exponential expansion of AI inference and agentic AI workloads.

Demonstrating Penguin’s expertise at the intersection of data-centre AI infrastructure and memory solutions, the SMART Modular MRDIMM features industry-leading thermal and electrical protection systems. Its innovative architecture combines two physical ranks into one logical rank to overcome conventional speed limitations. This significantly increases memory bandwidth compared with standard RDIMMs, helping improve memory-subsystem performance on next-generation server platforms.

To ensure the stability essential for smooth operation at these unprecedented speeds, the MRDIMM can undergo comprehensive, in-house Zefr high-reliability testing developed by Penguin. The rigorous memory-screening process simulates demanding real-world operating conditions to help identify and mitigate potential timing and electrical signal-integrity issues, delivering the reliable performance and data integrity required by mission-critical AI infrastructure.

“As memory demands rise in AI workloads, customers need greater bandwidth without compromising reliability,” said Arthur Sainio, Director of Integrated Memory Product Marketing at Penguin Solutions. “Our latest SMART Modular MRDIMM combines DDR5-12800 data rates with optional Zefr high-reliability testing to help customers increase memory performance and meet the stringent requirements of applications such as financial services.”

Key markets and applications for the advanced memory module include:

• Generative AI and LLM inference: Accelerating processing and response times for large language models.

• High-frequency trading: Minimising latency and maximising transfer speeds for split-second financial transactions.

• High-performance computing (HPC): Supporting complex scientific simulations and data-intensive research.
