Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs to Support Up to 10,000 MT/s DDR5 RAM

The next-gen processors will utilize CUDIMM technology but may face challenges with gaming performance due to Gear 2 configuration.

  • Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs are expected to support DDR5 RAM speeds up to 10,000 MT/s, leveraging CUDIMM technology.
  • CUDIMM (Clocked Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Module) allows higher frequencies by maintaining signal integrity through clock drivers.
  • While impressive, the 10,000 MT/s speed can only be achieved in Gear 2 mode, which introduces latency issues, making it less ideal for gaming.
  • The new CPUs are set to launch in late October, potentially widening the memory speed gap between Intel and AMD.
  • Higher voltages required for these speeds may increase the risk of overheating, necessitating effective cooling solutions.
