Renesas’ Industry-First Gen6 DDR5 Registered Clock Driver Sets Performance Benchmark by Delivering 9600 MT/s
TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that it has delivered the industry’s first sixth-generation Registered Clock Driver (RCD) for DDR5 Registered Dual In-line Memory Modules (RDIMMs). The new RCD is the first to achieve a data rate of 9600 Mega Transfers Per Second (MT/s), surpassing the industry standard. This breakthrough marks a significant leap from the 8800 MT/s performance of Renesas’ Gen5 RCD, setting a new standard for memory interface performance in data center servers.
Key Features of Renesas’ Gen6 DDR5 RCD
- 10% Bandwidth Increase over Renesas’ Gen5 RCD (9600 MT/s versus 8800 MT/s)
- Backward Compatibility with Gen5 Platforms: Provides seamless upgrade path
- Enhanced Signal Integrity and Power Efficiency: Enables AI, HPC, and LLM workloads
- Expanded Decision Feedback Equalization Architecture: Offers eight taps and 1.5mV granularity for superior margin tuning
- Decision Engine Signal Telemetry and Margining (DESTM): Improved system-level diagnostics provides real-time signal quality indication, margin visibility, and diagnostic feedback for higher speeds
The new DDR5 RDIMMs are needed to keep pace with the ever-increasing memory bandwidth demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Compute (HPC) and other data center applications. Renesas has been instrumental in the design, development and deployment of the new RDIMMs, collaborating with industry leaders including CPU and memory providers, along with end customers. Renesas is the leader in DDR5 RCDs, building on its legacy of signal integrity and power optimization expertise.
“Explosive growth of generative AI is fueling higher SoC core count. This is driving unprecedented demand for memory bandwidth and capacity as a critical enabler of data center performance,” said Sameer Kuppahalli, Vice President of Memory Interface Division at Renesas. “Our sixth generation DDR5 Registered Clock Driver demonstrates Renesas’ continued commitment to memory interface innovation, path-finding and delivering solutions to stay ahead of market demand.”
“Samsung has collaborated with Renesas across multiple generations of memory interface components, including the successful qualification of Gen5 DDR5 RCD and PMIC5030,” said Indong Kim, VP of DRAM Product Planning, Samsung Electronics. “We are now excited to integrate Gen6 RCD into our DDR5 DIMMs, across multiple SoC platforms to support the growing demands of AI, HPC, and other memory-intensive workloads.”
Availability
The RRG5006x Gen6 RCD is designed to meet the stringent requirements of next-generation server platforms, offering robust performance, reliability, and scalability. Renesas is sampling the new RRG5006x RCD to select customers today, including all major DRAM suppliers. Production availability is expected in the first half of 2027. More information about Renesas’ memory Interface solutions is available at www.renesas.com/ddr5. To request additional details about the new RCD, please send an email to [email protected].
Renesas at SC25
Renesas will showcase its memory interface solutions at the SC25 conference in St. Louis from November 16 through November 21 at booth #4101.

Ukraine war briefing: Top banker’s straight talk to Putin over troubled economy | Ukraine
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that the head of Russia’s Sberbank, German Gref, spoke of Russia’s economic problems in a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. His bank was experiencing only “very modest” growth due to “challenging macroeconomic conditions” including a shrinkage of its consumer loan portfolio, while 2025 growth was worse thank the bank expected. “Gref’s statements are notable,” the ISW assessed, “as Russian officials have largely refrained from admitting to any weakness in Russia’s economy and as the Kremlin has undertaken an information campaign to portray the Russian economy as stable and strong.”
Ukraine’s top military commander, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, said on Tuesday that the army’s situation had “significantly worsened” in parts of the Zaporizhzhia region amid fierce fighting with Russian forces. “In the Oleksandrivka and Huliapole directions … using its numerical superiority in personnel and materiel, the enemy advanced in fierce fighting and captured three settlements,” Syrskyi posted. The ISW, in its most recent assessment at time of writing, reported on advances in the area – both unconfirmed gains proclaimed by Russian sources, and others confirmed by geolocation of video footage.
Ukraine’s military said it struck a Russian oil refinery in the city of Orsk in Russia’s Orenburg region on Tuesday. “Explosions and a fire have been observed on the premises. According to preliminary information, one of the primary oil processing units has been hit,” the statement said.
Nato member Romania found drone fragments on its territory near the south-eastern border region after Russian strikes on Ukrainian Danube River ports, authorities said on Tuesday. Drones were earlier detected near Romanian and Nato airspace, said the defence ministry. The foreign minister, Oana Toiu, said: “These actions are part of a series of similar incidents and represent a characteristic of the war of aggression waged by Russia. This is also reflected in Russia’s systematic provocations against the EU and Nato.”
Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was “ready” to discuss with Washington accusations by Donald Trump that Russia had carried out secret underground nuclear tests. “We are ready to discuss the suspicions raised by our American colleagues regarding the possibility that we might be secretly doing something deep underground,” Russia’s recently reclusive foreign minister told state media in a televised interview. He denied it and said the US could check whether Russia tested a nuclear warhead via the global seismic monitoring system. “Other tests, both subcritical, or those without a chain nuclear reaction, and carrier tests, have never been prohibited,” Lavrov said.
Russian interests were negotiating their withdrawal from key Serbian oil company NIS which now faces US sanctions, Serbia’s energy minister said on Tuesday. Russia’s Gazprom Neft and its owner Gazprom have held nearly 45% of NIS since 2009. Gazprom recently transferred about 11% to another Russian firm, Intelligence. The Serbian state has just under 30%. Serbian officials feared that continued Russian control of NIS could harm Serbia’s economy. NIS runs Serbia’s main refinery at Pancevo near Belgrade which supplies about 80% of the country’s needs. The knock-on effects of the US sanctions on Russian oil companies have upended Russian investments in several countries.
The head of Ukraine’s delegation for talks with Russia said on Tuesday he was in Istanbul to try to “unblock” the process of prisoner swaps, and that he would have more meetings in the Middle East on the issue. “There was an agreement – and it must be implemented,” said Rustem Umerov, who is also the secretary of Ukraine’s security council.
Ukraine will increase power import capacity from neighbouring countries to a total of 2,300MW in December, the head of the state grid operator said on Tuesday, without elaborating on how this would be achieved. Vitaliy Zaichenko told a press conference that current capacity was 2,100MW but Ukraine was not able to use it all owing to limitations in the system.
Ukraine’s prime minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, said the government had dismissed Energoatom’s supervisory board while anti-corruption authorities said they had charged seven individuals over an alleged $100m kickback scheme involving the nuclear agency and other state enterprises. Energoatom, which generates more than a half of Ukraine’s energy supply, said the probe had not disrupted production or operational safety.
A Ukrainian man accused by German prosecutors of involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline blasts has ended a hunger strike he began on 31 October after Italian authorities pledged to give him food meeting his medical requirements, his lawyer said on Tuesday. The detainee, identified under German privacy laws as Serhii K, has said he suffers from pancreatitis and coeliac disease and is vegan. He denies any role in the explosions that severed Russian gas supplies to Europe, and is appealing against extradition to Germany.
Britain plans to ban companies from providing services such as shipping and insurance for Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The EU has approved sanctions that ban Russian LNG imports from 1 January 2027 but the UK government said on Tuesday it wanted to go further. “The ban will be phased in over 2026 in lockstep with our European partners,” said the British Foreign Office.
