gollark: > The "Write Pattern" command is new for DDR5; this is identical to a write command, but no data is transmitted. Instead, the range is filled with copies of a 1-byte mode register (which defaults to all-zero). Although this takes the same amount of time as a normal write, not driving the data lines saves energy. Also, writes to multiple banks may be interleaved more closely.
gollark: I think DRAM actually has a command for zeroing regions nowadays.
gollark: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3654905/faster-way-to-zero-memory-than-with-memset#3655024
gollark: I would be surprised if CPUs lacked dedicated zeroing capabilities, actually.
gollark: You can do something something SIMD to zero large regions at once.
