LRDIMM
Updated: 06/30/2020 by Computer Hope
Short for load-reduced dual inline memory module, LRDIMM memory chips are used in server settings, like data centers and cloud computing, and in high-performance computers. LRDIMM features a memory buffer instead of a register like RDIMMs (registered memory). This feature allows it to increase the memory speed, reduce the load on a server's memory bus, and help to reduce power consumption.
LRDIMM chips are compatible with DDR3 DIMM (dual in-line memory module) memory sockets on motherboards. They cost considerably more than RDIMM chips, running upwards of $400-$500 for 8 GB of RAM (random-access memory), but the performance is better for memory-intensive applications.
