MSI confirms support for CUDIMM DDR5 on AMD Ryzen 9000 and 8000

AMD X870 and X870E cards with Ryzen 9000 or 8000 series processors will support CUDIMM DDR5 memory modules. The information was revealed by MSI, at one of its press events. This means that we will see mobo options with faster memory support, starting at 6,400MT/s.

CUDIMM technology integrates a CDK clock control driver directly into memory, allowing for higher speeds in the final product. We already have official product announcements promising to reach up to 9,600MT/s, as well as promises to eventually reach 10,000MT/s.

MSI did not talk about numbers in its presentation, limiting itself to highlighting that the Ryzen 9000 and 8000 series will support CUDIMM DDR5 on their new cards. This leaves the Ryzen 7000 series out for now, but according to TOPPC, this could change in the future.

TOPPC is an overclocker that works directly with MSI. He explains in a video that Ryzen 7000 does not support CUDIMM DDR5 due to an incompatibility that could be resolved in a BIOS update. But it will depend on MSI’s decisions.

However, what is most striking in their video (in Chinese) is that TOPPC hints that they do not believe we will see 10,000MT/s anytime soon, according to VideoCardz.

Although AMD has not officially “stamped” a date for the new generation of its motherboards, we have enough leaks to believe that the models will arrive next Monday, September 30th. It is also at this time that we will probably see the first reviews for the models.

Tests of boards equipped with CUDIMM DDR5 memory modules, however, should take longer to appear. This is for the simple fact that we still don’t have many of these modules actually available.

It appears that manufacturers like Asgard are ready to launch modules with the technology. So, after the arrival of the mobos, it may be that more options for new memories won’t take so long to appear.
