Fast is an understatement.

New Intel CPUs could offer DDR5 memory support up to 10,000MT/s, dwarfing the capabilities of even the latest Ryzen processors.
Intel is usually able to provide faster memory support than its competitor, AMD, having done so for its last three generations of CPUs belonging to the DDR5 standard. As the expected release of the Core Ultras series draws nearer, leaks are surfacing that Intel could be providing support for very high-speed DDR5 CUDIMM memory, reports WccfTech.
CUDIMM is a new type of DDR5 memory released earlier this year, it stands for “Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Module”. The primary purpose of this new DDR5 type is to provide higher speeds with better stability. A user by the name of MebiuW on Weibo had the following to say:
A huge uplift over Raptor Lake R and Ryzen 9000 series
10,000MT/s is a heck of an increase over the current generation of Intel CPUs (Raptor Lake-R) which can struggle to hit 8,000MT/s. In a similar situation, the latest Zen 5 CPUs can struggle to maintain 7,000MT/s. This is a good reason to opt for the Core Ultra series as memory support is completely off the charts if the rumors are true.
The CUDIMM technology incorporates a clock driver for regeneration clock signals, this is fancy speak for stable memory. While 10,000MT/s seems unlikely to some, this technology can be used to create such speeds (8,000 – 10,000MT/s) and some companies are already taking full advantage of the new technology.
One recent example is Asgard, which lifted the veil on its fastest CUDIMM kit yet, running up to 9,600MT/s. It’s hard to fathom such a speed in use with the current hardware we have available to us, but if the rumors are to be believed, Core Ultra should be able to take full advantage of memory modules such as this one from Asgard.
