Intel Reportedly Pushing Up To 10,000 MT/s DDR5 Memory Support For Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200” CPUs

Intel's Arrow Lake "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs will offer drastically improved DDR5 memory support capabilities with CUDIMM designs.

Intel Arrow Lake "Core Ultra 200" CPUs to support 8000-10,000 MT/s DDR5 Memory Speed with CUDIMM

Intel has been able to provide higher memory speed support compared to AMD for its last three generations of CPUs when it comes to DDR5 memory. Now as the company approaches the launch time of the Arrow Lake processors, leaks surfacing are suggesting that the processors can support a high-speed CUDIMM DDR5 memory.

CUDIMM or Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Module is the latest type of DDR5 memory released this year, aiming to deliver higher memory speeds. As per the information by the user MebiuW from Weibo, the upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs can support 8000-10000 MT/s of DDR5 memory support with CUDIMM.

This is a huge uplift over the Raptor Lake and Refresh CPUs, which have a hard time reaching 8000 MT/s and require a strong IMC. Overclocking DDR5 memory on the AM5 platform is even more difficult. Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs struggle to support up to 7000 MT/s of DDR5 speed, which now is once again favoring Intel as the Arrow Lake CPUs seem to offer even higher RAM speed support than their predecessors.

The CUDIMM brings a clock driver for regenerating the clock signal to improve stability and memory frequencies. Reaching 10,000 MT/s might seem too difficult but it's certainly possible as some memory makers have already started to manufacture high-speed CUDIMMs. A recent example is Asgard, which recently unveiled its fastest CUDIMM DDR5 running at up to 9600 MT/s of speed.

The company is planning to achieve 10,000 MT/s but is also planning to exceed this number in the future. That said, the upcoming LGA 1851 motherboards will offer great memory support too. While we don't have enough info on the memory frequency support on the Z890 chipset
