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.
If you've been looking to score a high-capacity kit of RAM but the AI boom has destroyed any chance of that happening, Newegg might have just the deal for you. The 96GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM kit usually costs over $1,100, but you can get it for less than half if you act quickly.
You can grab 32GB of fast DDR5-6400 Corsair Pro Overclocking RAM for just $309.99 right now. That's a massive $140 discount on its (current) list price that makes it the cheapest set of 32GB DDR5 RAM that you can buy right now in a market left in ruins by the AI boom.
You can grab 32GB of DDR5-6200 Corsair Vengeance RAM for $300.99 right now. That's a $130 discount on its (current) list price, a serious saving in a market that the AI boom has left in ruin.
Micron’s planned $24 billion NAND flash expansion in Singapore will require 400 to 500 power transformers, which is more than double the 100 to 150 units a standard wafer fab typically needs.
Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra predicts that self-driving vehicles would require at least 300GB of RAM, meaning increasing demand could drive another memory chip shortage as these cars are essentially AI supercomputers on wheels.
SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won told reporters at Nvidia's GTC conference in San Jose on Monday that the global memory chip shortage is likely to persist for another four to five years.
