You won’t be able to use Micron’s massive 256GB DDR5-8800 memory module in your home desktop PC, as it was designed for next-generation servers. More specifically, servers based on Intel’s Xeon Scalable ‘Granite Rapids’ processors that support 12 or 24 memory slots per socket.
Micron’s 256 GB DDR5-8800 Multiplexer Combined Ranks (MCR) DIMMs will be offered to customers in two variants: a ‘tall’ module with 80 DRAM chips distributed on both sides, as well as a standard-height module boasting 2Hi stacked packages. The two are both housed on monolithic 32 Gb DDR5 ICs engineered to cater to different server configurations with the standard-height MCRDIMM adressing 1U servers.
