You don't seem to understand that it's referring to the individual memory chips on the memory sticks. At the client level 32GB of DDR5 has 16 individual chips because they're 16Gb, 48GB also has 16 chips because they're 24Gb so this would allow for 64GB with the same number of chips. In theory this would allow client devices to have 256GB maximum DRAM capacity.Calculations: 1Gb = 125MB
So 32Gb would equal 4GB.
If Micron is just now coming up with 4GB memory sticks I think they might be a little behind the curve.

@ 4 GiB DDR5 DRAM PackagesGoing forward the company plans 192GB and 256GB DDR5 modules.
Apart from anything else, you can also just look at the slide.I think you mean 32 Gb, not 32 GB.
Fair point: they should've said Gib, which is equivalent to 128 MiBCalculations: 1Gb = 125MB
Yes, and the article also talks about 8-high stacking, which just confirms the 32 Gb figure is referring to a single 2D die.You don't seem to understand that it's referring to the individual memory chips on the memory sticks. At the client level 32GB of DDR5 has 16 individual chips because they're 16Gb, 48GB also has 16 chips because they're 24Gb so this would allow for 64GB with the same number of chips. In theory this would allow client devices to have 256GB maximum DRAM capacity.
With 32 Gib dies, the max UDIMM size will probably be just 64 GiB. That's because I think UDIMMs are limited to dual-rank, which I believe limits you to 16 chips. Stacking the dies probably pushes past the point where you need registers (i.e. RDIMMs).128 GB UDIMMs or RDIMMs?
