On the memory side, we find the announcement (via El Chapuzas) of the Asgard brand and its Thor RAM. While names based on Norse mythology may seem cliché, the Chinese company (this is no joke) unveils CUDIMM RAM running at 9600 MT/s!
Thor: Chinese RAM hitting 9600 MT/s!
Now we’re getting down to the nitty-gritty of frequencies. In fact, the advertised modules operate at 9600 MT/s. Timings are 44-56-56-136, while voltage reaches 1.5V. We’ll also mention the fact that this is “non-binary” memory, available in 24 GB strips, giving a capacity of 48 GB per kit.
While the RAM has been successfully tested on a Z790 Taichi, this is a kit aimed primarily at Arrow Lake platforms. Of course, it also features XMP3.0 compatibility for frequencies accessible at the click of a button.
For the moment, 9600 MT/s is impressive, but the company has announced its intention to offer 10000 MT/s kits in the future. To reach this frequency, the brand had to opt for the best SK Hynix chips.
Now, we’re curious to know the sales price. And if we’re curious about availability, it’s a safe bet that they won’t be arriving in Europe via imports or a few boutiques here and there.
