no - here is an example from Aug 2019 EE Times:

PALO ALTO, Calif. – IBM defined at (trade show ed.) Hot Chips a new interface for the 2020 version of its Power 9 CPUs. The Open Memory Interface (OMI) will enable packing on a server more main memory at higher bandwidth than DDR, and as a potential Jedec standard could rival GenZ and Intel’s CLX.

OMI basically removes the memory controller from the host, relying instead on a controller on a relatively small DIMM card. Microchip’s Microsemi division already has a DDR controller running on cards in IBM’s labs. The approach promises to deliver up to 4TBytes memory on a server at about 320GBytes/second or 512GB at up to 650GB/s sustained rates.
