Some DDR3 modules support pseudo target row refresh when used with
certain chipsets.

TRR also isn't part of the DDR4 standard, it's up to manufacturers to
decide whether they wish to support it & if it's not standardised then
it's hard to know if the implementation is the same and how effective it is.

It's a three year old article, but there are probably plenty of three
year old memory modules out there.
