HUDIMM is being proposed as a cheaper memory spec using only 1x 32-bit subchannel per stick instead of 2x 32-bit in order to populate less ICs. Turns out, halving the bandwidth like that actually slashes the performance in half too, alongside the expected capacity reduction. Two HUDIMMs running in dual channel perform similar to a single regular DDR5 stick.

DDR5 RAM usually has 2x 32-bit subchannels (single rank), which requires more ICs to populate a 64-bit wide bus. ASRock's new HUDIMM has just 1x 32-bit channel and can work with standard DDR5 in mix-and-matched configs as well. HUDIMM sticks are being made by TeamGroup and are supported on most LGA 1700 ASRock motherboards.

A Reddit user's order for a pack of 32GB Corsair DDR5 RAM turns into a box of 10, totalling 320GB of memory.

A video from a Turkish wedding reveals a delighted bride and groom being showered with opulent PC tech gifts.

German retailers' inventory saw DDR5 memory prices stabilizing for the first time in months, with some kits even miraculously seeing price cuts compared to the start of January. This doesn't indicate that the crisis is over, or even that there will be no more price hikes, but rather that the unpredictability is finally starting to wither.

Crucial's 32GB Pro Overclocking DDR5-6000 kit is now the cheapest 32GB kit in its class.

Newegg is offering 16GB of TeamGroup DDR5-6000 RAM with a $50 discount code.

DIY DDR5 is no longer just a concept, but a reality, as modder VIK-on has built his first 32GB stick from scavenged parts. The memory chips came from laptop SODIMMs, while a new PCB and cooler were acquired from China. After flashing custom firmware enabling 6400 MT/s XMP, the entire build put together cost $218.

In China’s spot market, vendors are quoting prices that put a box of 100 high-capacity DDR5 server memory modules at roughly 5 million yuan,

As we face an unprecedented memory crisis, some vendors are still upping the ceiling, introducing higher capacity RAM kits for eye-gouging prices. This time, though, it's registered ECC server memory not meant for consumers, and therefore, asking the price of a borderline luxurious car is justified here.

What are you willing to do to get your hands on DDR5 memory these days? Whatever it is, it probably doesn't match the lengths these Russian modders are reaching by trying to build their own RAM. You can actually follow along with your own parts, along with a bit of time to solder the memory ICs to the PCB.

A buyer in Spain has reported receiving a sealed DDR5 memory kit that contained counterfeit parts, raising fresh concerns about return fraud affecting high-value PC components.

Crucial's 32GB DDR5-6000 kit is now the cheapest available 32GB kit at $273.99.

Pay $179 for 16GB of DDR5-6000 RAM and an MSI B650 motherboard bundle from Newegg, and save $129.

If you've been eyeying a memory upgrade, forget about it. You can literally get an entire console for the price of a high-end 64 GB DDR5 kit, and the best part is that experts speculate this inflated pricing to only go up in the coming months.
