this disease runs deep and not just in consumer hardware. broadcom has carrier-grade switches called Trident, Tomahawk and Maverick, and, ugh

Branding is ridiculous.
The best part is that all of these RAM brands are nearly-identical reference PCB designs built around ICs from one of about three companies. About the only difference is whether there's a heatsink, and what color they anodized it if so.

yeah. not only it heats up a lot, but DDR4 also has to be retrained each time the temperature changes by more than 20°C or so, which causes a large amount of issues, especially on embedded systems

Gamer-grade RAM meant to a) look cool and b) be crammed into a computer full of broiling hot GPUs, sitting on a floor under a desk and sucking dust off the floor? Yes.
Most server-grade RAM? No.
