Many leaks have surfaced online about Intel, which indicates optimizing the use of DDR5 CUDIMM memory up to 10,000 MHz for its upcoming Core Ultra 200 processors. In the high memory speed sector, Intel has been ahead of AMD for the past three CPU generations.

The term CUDIMM stands for Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Module. These are the latest formats for the DDR5 memory launched this year. They will improve stability and memory frequencies.

According to reports, Intel has added support for this format. With this, the upcoming Arrow Lake-S processors will support 8000-10000 MHz of DDR5 memory.

Why it matters: With Intel already being ahead of AMD in the high memory speed factor, this new addition can help it to be ahead of the competition even more. 

Even though the 10000 MHz sounds difficult but it will soon be possible. As many manufacturers have already started to maufacture high speed CUDIMM. Just like we can see Asgard Thor, the fastest 9600 MHz DDR5 for intel core CPUs.

This is a major change compared to its predecessors. The Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs had difficulty reaching 8000 MHz. The Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs struggled to provide support for up to 7000 MHz of DDR5 with overclocking.

The ASRock Z890 Taichi motherboard can support DDR5 CUDIMM memory up to 9,200MHz. A 1DPC 1R memory configuration (only 1 memory module installed with a single row of memory chips, not double-sided -2R-).

This alone represents a significant boost over its predecessor with a Z790 chipset, adding 2,000MHz. It might still get last-minute upgrades to support memory operating at 10,000 MHz. Alternatively, only the best manufacturers, like MSI, will be able to accomplish this capability. 

The support for this may not even arrive on the launch day. So we will have to wait and see what the top-tier manufactures provide us with.
