New cost-effective DDR5 memory 'HUDIMMs' show around 50% reduction in throughput with single subchannel — Two HUDIMMs are as fast as a single stick of regular DDR5 RAM

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.

New HUDIMM memory specification debuts with goal of slashing DDR5 prices during RAM shortages — A new, cheaper memory standard with half the bandwidth and half the capacity

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.

Micron predicts that cars will need 300GB of RAM — memory-laden vehicles could exacerbate shortages but create 'robust long-term growth in automotive memory demand'

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.

Leading PC manufacturers considering using Chinese memory chips, report claims — HP and Dell qualifying CXMT DRAM, Acer and Asus asking Chinese partners to source locally-made memory chips

HP and Dell are reportedly qualifying CXMT memory chips for their products, while Asus and Acer are asking their partners to source locally-made memory modules. The ongoing memory chip shortage is forcing even big companies to look for alternative sources to Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix.
