What is non-binary memory, and why is it beneficial?

The article discusses the increasing demand for memory capacity and the advancements in memory technology to meet these demands. With the introduction of DDR5, higher density DRAM chips are being used to provide higher speeds, greater bandwidth, and bigger memory capacities. The transition from 16Gbit to 32Gbit density chips is not yet achievable, so an intermediary density of 24Gbit, known as non-binary memory, has been introduced. This allows for modules with capacities of 12GB, 24GB, 48GB, and 96GB. This increased capacity benefits applications such as gaming, productivity, and data centers supporting AI workloads. It is compatible with DDR5 platforms from Intel and AMD, and can be mixed with 16Gbit memory modules depending on the system's configuration.
