New Clocked Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM) memory includes a clock controller (CKD) in its design. Simply explained, it stores the incoming clock signal and amplifies it at its output, sending it to the memory chips.
The CKD includes additional functions to obtain a good quality signal. Allows the correction of the duty cycle, allowing precise synchronization and reducing instability. In addition, it minimizes clock skew, corrects programming delays for each of the routes and guarantees memory synchronization. Together, all these elements allow us to improve performance and raise working frequencies above 6,400 MT/s.
Asgard presents its new CUDIMM modules
Physically, the CUDIMM memories They are no different from current memories. Simply, an additional chip is added to control the clocks, thus improving its performance and functionality. No CPU and/or motherboard upgrades are required, which is ideal for the end user.
Maybe you don’t know the manufacturer Asgard, but it has just announced its first CUDIMM type modules. These memories are characterized by being DDR5 with frequencies of 9,600 MT/s and a CAS latency of 44. They have a high-quality integrated heat sink and will be available in two colors: Midnight Black and Lightning Silver.
More specifically, these memories use Intel XMP 3.0 Profiles with an operating profile of 9,600 MT/s running at 1.5 volts. The G.SKills, to put it in context, are faster, running at 8,400 MT/s, running at 1.4 volts.
These Thor models are missing RGB lightingSo these are pretty sober heat sinks. Having few lights, as we already know, does not add anything to the performance and only makes the product more expensive. But hey, these types of products have their audience, even if the small lights usually end up going out because they are annoying.
Additionally, manufacturer Asgard has announced CUDIMM modules based on the DDR5 standard with speeds of 10,000 MT/s. These new memories do not have a release date, at least for now. They do not have a name at the moment, but it seems that these memories will have RGB lighting on the heat sink.
It should be noted that the Thor models also do not have a release date or price. Most likely, we will see the first modules at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, which will take place in the second week of January. This technological event is very important and the products that will arrive during the first half of the year are usually presented.
Beyond transfer speeds, the manufacturer hasn’t provided much more information. It seems like they’ll have a dual 24GB configuration, but they haven’t given any information about a 32GB version. They also haven’t revealed pricing, but it’s normal for them to be significantly more expensive than conventional modules without CKD.
