We've been seeing plenty of interesting things coming out of the Intel Developer Forum and today is no different. Intel has been showing off some 16GB RAM sticks made by Hynix, which claim to use technology from MetaRAM to get the extra chips onto the modules. If that wasn't impressive enough, the sticks were being demoed in a server system with 2 Nehalem CPUs and a total of 160GB RAM (ten of the 16GB sticks). Seeing a task manager screenshot with over 100GB of RAM in use would certainly be something most users can only dream of. We can only guess at when you might actually be able to buy modules with such capacity, but let us hope it isn't too far away.
Take a look at the possible application for that RAM - Intel's demo Dual Gainestown - Nehalem - workstation supercomputer working on large memory problems, all that displayed, of course, on dual ATI FireGL 7700 DisplayPort graphics cards! As we said before, Intel is far more likely to support DAAMIT GPU operation vs Nvidian Green Goblins, at least until the Larrabees hive is ready to produce some ca$h honey...
In the meantime, let's see how MetaRAM actually performs - DDR2 or DDR3, for that mater. Watch this space. µ

16 GB Ram sticks! Sometime later they will produce 32 GB RAM sticks too, I guess.
