Found this on Marketplace, most interesting stick of RAM I’ve ever seen.

    It is for an IBM Power Enterprise system. I think Power8. It has something similar to L4 cache onboard. That cache adds latency, but when you have 8 threads per core you can afford to have a few stalled threads. Bandwidth was better than anything else out there. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7093689 The IBM part # (FRU) is 00lp736  https://www.nextplatform.com/2018/08/28/ibm-power-chips-blur-the-lines-to-memory-and-accelerators/ I used to work for IBM as a sysadmin. The systems these went in were bulletproof and had corrosion meters in the BIOS.

    From the first look it reminds me of something from ISA era

    “Should we install it in Grandma? She keeps freezing up when she tries to multitask.”

  5. Really cool, but little useless, concept from IBM.

    That’s an ECC protected DDR3 “CDIMM” memory module with 16 MB cache on the memory module. If the documentation I have here is right, that’s a 72-bit 32 GB memory stick rated at 1,600 MT/s.

    Each CDIMM was actually the equivalent of four DIMMs on one PCB, with the memory controller on the same PCB to make it the CDIMM.

    That’s not a stick of ram, that’s a log
