Cloud Gaming Workstation Memory Requalification and Supply Transition
Component lead times exceeded the production schedule for a cloud gaming workstation. The project needed to qualify an alternative high-capacity memory configuration.
Application Overview
A cloud gaming workstation platform requiring high-capacity system memory across a fully populated configuration.
Project Requirements
The platform design had been completed; however, RDIMM lead times of 20 weeks introduced a material constraint to the planned production schedule.
Qualifying an alternative memory configuration required verification on the target CPU architecture.
Project Configuration
DDR4 3200 32 GB U‑DIMM.
Project configuration as recorded for this program. Current product availability is listed under Products.
Qualification & Implementation
- Qualification conducted on the target proprietary CPU architecture rather than on a reference board.
- Compatibility testing completed prior to mass production.
- Sustained operation verified at the rated data rate.
- Behavior verified at full memory population, as the workstation build occupies every slot.
- Bill of materials fixed at qualification and held through production.
- Continuous technical support maintained through the production transition.
Recorded Outcomes
Lead time was held at six weeks, down from 20 weeks, and 15,000 units entered mass production.
Key Engineering Factors
Validation conducted on the actual target architecture rather than a reference configuration.
The bill of materials was fixed at qualification, and production followed the configuration recorded for the program.
A single engineering contact maintained from qualification through volume production.
