Marketed under the Crucial brand, Micron’s DDR5 clocked unbuffered dual in-line memory modules (CUDIMMs) and clocked small-outline dual in-line memory modules (CSODIMMs) run at speeds up to 6400 MT/s. According to Micron, this is twice as fast as standard DDR4 speeds and 15% faster than conventional DDR5 without a clock driver.
These commercially available JEDEC-standard modules offer improved speed stability, faster downloads, and enhanced refresh rates for AI PCs and high-end workstations. While most systems rely on the CPU clock signal, Micron’s CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs integrate a clock driver directly into the memory module to maintain stability.
Intel has validated Micron’s DDR5 CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs for capacities up to 64 GB for use with its Intel Core Ultra desktop processors (Series 2). These modules enable system capacities up to 256 GB for workloads requiring substantial memory density and performance. The validation of these client memory modules by Intel will empower leading PC manufacturers and integrators to adopt Micron’s clock driver-based memory in their PC platforms.
Consumers can purchase the CUDIMM and CSODIMM in 16-GB capacities at Crucial.com, with 64-GB options expected to be available in the first half of 2025.
