[Hardware]Asgard Thor: its first CUDIMM memory is 48 GB DDR5 at 9,600 MHz

[Dean Ambrose™]

A few weeks ago the first RAM memories were announced that included a new and interesting technology that allows increasing the capabilities of this component. Now, memory manufacturer Asgard has just announced its new Thor memories based on CUDIMM technology. These memories are mainly characterized by offering transfer speeds of up to 9,600 MT/s.

The new Clocked Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM) memories include a clock controller (CKD) in their 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 correction of the duty cycle, allowing precise synchronization and reducing instability. Additionally, it minimizes clock lag, 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, CUDIMM memories do not differ at all from current memories. Simply, an additional chip is added that controls the clocks, improving its performance and features. There is no processor and/or motherboard upgrade required, which is great 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.
Specifically, these memories use Intel XMP 3.0 profiles with an operating profile of 9,600 MT/s working at a voltage of 1.5 volts. The G.SKill, to put it in context, are faster, working at 8,400 MT/s, working at a voltage of 1.4 volts.

These Thor models lack RGB lighting, so they are quite sober heatsinks. Having little lights, we already know, does not contribute anything in performance and only makes the product more expensive. But hey, these types of products have their audience, although the little lights usually end up turned off because they are annoying.

Additionally, the manufacturer Asgard has announced CUDIMM modules based on the DDR5 standard with speeds of 10,000 MT/s. These new memoirs do not have a release date, at least for now. They do not have a name, at the moment, but it does seem that these memories will have RGB lighting on the heatsink.

You should know 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 takes place 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 shown.
Beyond the transfer speeds, the manufacturer has not provided much more information. It seems that they will have a dual 24 GB configuration, but they have not given information on a 32 GB version. They have not revealed prices either, but it is normal that they are substantially more expensive than conventional modules without the CKD.
