SK Hynix starts mass production on 192GB SOCAMM2 modules for Nvidia Vera Rubin
SK Hynix delivers double the bandwidth of traditional RDIMM modules with less power with its newest SOCAMM2 LPDDR5X modules
SK Hynix has begun mass production of its new 192GB SOCAMM2 memory modules, using its next-generation 1cnm LPDDR5X low-power DRAM technology. These chips use SK Hynix’s 6th-generation 10nm process. SK Hynix claims they deliver significant performance and power benefits on supported platforms.
These new modules are designed for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform. However, AMD has recently confirmed that its upcoming EPYC “Verano” platform will support SOCAMM2 modules in 2027.
Compared to conventional RDIMM modules, SK Hynix’s new 192GB SOCAMM2 LPDDR5X modules deliver over double the bandwidth with 75% greater power efficiency. This makes these modules ideal for next-generation AI servers, where power efficiency and bandwidth need to be maximised.
SK hynix emphasized that the 1cnm based SOCAMM2 product that is now in mass production delivers more than double the bandwidth with over 75% improved power efficiency compared to conventional RDIMM2, providing an optimized solution for high performance AI operations.

Due to its low-power nature and bandwidth, SOCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory is ideal for AI workloads. Higher levels of power efficiency make AI workloads less power-hungry. Furthermore, additional bandwidth helps resolve memory bottlenecks, boosting overall processing speed. In other words, SOCAMM2 modules make AI faster and cheaper to operate.
Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron now produce SOCAMM2 memory modules with 192GB capacities. This has created a large supply for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin launch. Sadly, the memory shortage persists, leaving insufficient supply to meet the needs of the AI market and regular consumers. With 192GB per module capacities, SK Hynix has made it clear where the world’s memory is going.
