HP ProLiant Gen9 DDR4 SmartMemory
Why HP? — Highest quality, reliability, performance and compatibility
Higher performance
Up to 14% more throughput at DDR4-2133 compared to
Intel’s specification 1
Power saving / efficiency
Lower fan power and better acoustics based upon HP
motherboard design
35% lower power consumption than DDR3 at the same
speed bin 2
1 Up to
14% better performance is based on similar capacity DIMMS running on HP server compared to a non-HP server with DDR4.
Calculation: At 2DPC (2 DIMMs per channel), HP will perform with RDIMM and LRDIMM @ 2133MHz; whereas, Intel suggests 2DPC @ 1866MHz (2133 – 1866)/1866 )*100 = 14%
2 DDR3 1.5v DDR4 1.2v – voltage to current calculation to get the 35%
