Biwin has joined the CUDIMM bandwagon, revealing its DW100 DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules, reaching speeds up to 9200 MT/s.
Biwin Joins Asgard & V-Color In The "CUDIMM" Competition, Offers Performance & Beauty In One Package With Up To DDR5-9200 MT/s Speeds
The memory industry is now inclined toward a new solution, which offers the highest processing speeds out there in the market and comes with some of the lowest latency timings. CUDIMM, or Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Module standard, utilizes a CKD (Clock Driver) to regenerate the clock signal to improve stability and help the RAM modules reach higher frequencies. This, in turn, allows a dynamic adjustment of voltages and clock frequencies, which results in a much higher and more efficient performance out of your memory modules.
Biwin isn't the first firm to unveil its CUDIMM-based DDR5 memory since previously Asgard and V-Color have unveiled their respective solutions. Speaking of Biwin's new DW100 memory, it offers up to 9,200 MT/s of speeds under the CAS latency of CL42, and the unlocked PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) allows the adjustment of frequencies at runtime, ultimately ensuring that memory performance is dynamically tuned depending upon the workloads.
Interestingly, the Biwin DW100 modules have been tested by the in-house labs as well, and the firm has dropped benchmarks to support the claims. The results do show that the memory manages to attain the 9,200 MT/s speed threshold, slightly less than what Asgard's Thor CUDIMM solution comes with, but given that you get CL42 latency here, it is a decent tradeoff.
Regarding memory capacities, Biwin's DW100 modules are to be available in capacities of 48 GB (2 x 24 GB), so initially, the firm has decided to opt for higher capacities, leaving behind 16 GB modules, which V-Color is offering with their respective solution. Given the mighty performance packed in these modules, Biwin has also decided to integrate an effective cooling solution, utilizing a three-fin cooling design and an aluminum alloy heatsink, which allows the memory to deliver well under high workload situations.
Biwin hasn't disclosed the pricing or release date of its CUDIMM modules yet, but they are expected to push out the DW100 memory somewhere in Q4 2024. We haven't seen mainstream memory companies, such as GSkill or Adata, showcasing their CUDIMM solutions yet, so we do expect the competition in this particular segment to rise massively in the upcoming months.
