Leveraging DDR5 technology, it significantly improves memory bandwidth, supports increased capacity per module, and enhances power efficiency, making it an ideal choice for data centers, cloud computing infrastructures, and mission-critical enterprise applications.

High-Capacity 96GB Memory

The 96GB capacity places the Kingston KTD-PE556D4-96G within a high-density memory category designed for advanced enterprise workloads. High-capacity DDR5 RDIMMs enable servers to handle large datasets, in-memory databases, and complex analytics without excessive reliance on slower storage tiers.This capacity is ideal for modern applications such as virtualization, container orchestration, AI model training, and real-time data processing. By reducing memory bottlenecks, high-capacity modules improve overall system responsiveness and efficiency.

DDR5 vs DDR4 RDIMM Memory 

DDR5 marks a significant evolution over DDR4 in terms of architecture and performance. The Kingston KTD-PE556D4-96G takes full advantage of these enhancements, delivering a blazing-fast data rate of 5600MT/s. Unlike DDR4, DDR5 RDIMMs offer dual 32-bit subchannels per module, improved power management through on-module PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit), and increased burst length, which allows for more efficient data access.

Bandwidth and Speed Advancements

Operating at 5600MT/s, the KTD-PE556D4-96G ensures ultra-fast data throughput, essential for data-heavy applications such as AI model training, real-time analytics, virtualization, and large-scale simulations. The PC5-44800 classification reflects the high data transfer capacity, offering up to 44.8 GB/s of bandwidth per module. This high-speed performance reduces latency and bottlenecks in modern server environments.

ECC and RDIMM Reliability

This memory module features Error-Correcting Code (ECC), which automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, ensuring data integrity and uptime. Its RDIMM architecture adds an extra register between the DRAM modules and the memory controller, enhancing signal integrity and stability, especially in configurations requiring multiple DIMMs per channel. Such robustness is crucial for 24/7 server operations in banking, healthcare, and cloud infrastructure environments.

Module Architecture and Pin Configuration

The 288-pin RDIMM design of the KTD-PE556D4-96G provides a secure physical and electrical connection within server motherboards. This memory module uses a 2Rx4 configuration, which means it contains two sets of memory chips with a 4-bit data width each. The x4 configuration improves memory access efficiency and is a standard in enterprise server setups.

288-Pin DIMM Memory

The 288-pin DIMM form factor is standard for DDR5 memory modules, ensuring compatibility with modern server and workstation motherboards. This standardized design simplifies system integration and upgrades, allowing IT teams to deploy DDR5 memory with confidence.ECC Registered DDR5 DIMMs are supported by enterprise-grade chipsets and processors from leading manufacturers. The Kingston KTD-PE556D4-96G is validated for specific server platforms, reducing compatibility risks and deployment challenges.

Compatibility and Integration

Kingston has engineered this module for compatibility with a wide range of server platforms, particularly those using Intel® Xeon® Scalable or AMD EPYC™ processors that support DDR5 ECC RDIMMs. When planning upgrades or initial builds, administrators must ensure BIOS and platform support for DDR5 5600MT/s speeds and 2Rx4 ranks.

Energy Efficiency and Thermal Management

DDR5 technology incorporates a more advanced power management scheme. The on-module PMIC in the Kingston KTD-PE556D4-96G allows fine-grain control of voltage levels and power delivery, improving overall energy efficiency. This contributes to reduced thermal output, extending the life of components and enabling denser server configurations without thermal throttling.

Scalability in Multi-Channel Server 

The RDIMM format supports scalable memory configurations in multi-channel memory systems. System architects can populate multiple KTD-PE556D4-96G modules across various memory banks to reach terabyte-level memory configurations. Dual-channel and octa-channel server architectures especially benefit from RDIMM stability, ECC protection, and the high density of 96GB per module.

High-Performance Computing (HPC)

Scientific computing tasks such as genome sequencing, weather modeling, and particle simulations demand memory modules that offer both speed and reliability. The KTD-PE556D4-96G meets these demands by combining DDR5 throughput with ECC stability, supporting real-time data processing and reducing the likelihood of computational errors.
