Asus Presents Help for 64GB Reminiscence Modules to Intel 600/700 Motherboards
Asus on Thursday talked about it has launched new variations of UEFI BIOS for DDR5-supporting Intel 600/700-series motherboards that allow assist for 64 GB DIMMs. Consequently, Asus’s newest platforms for Intel’s 12th13th and 14th Experience Core processors with 4 slots for DIMM slots can now work with as lots as 256 GB of DDR5 reminiscence, and motherboards with two DIMM slots can now assist as lots as 128 GB of reminiscence.
To grasp assist for 256 GB of DDR5 reminiscence utilizing 64 GB unbuffered DIMMs, one ought to pay money for the latest model of UEFI BIOS for actually one in all many Intel 600/700-series motherboards listed on the Asus web site.
The itemizing of Asus motherboards with an LGA1700 socket supporting 256 GB of DDR5 reminiscence includes 75 boards based totally completely on a wide range of Intel’s 600 and 700-series chipsets, together with Intel Z790, H770, B760, Z690, W680, and Q670. Although taking inventory of Asus’s better motherboard alternatives, that is nonetheless a bit shy of overlaying all of Asus’s LGA1700 motherboards, which is sort of 200 fashions in full. So 64 GB DIMM assist has solely come to a fraction of their boards, a minimum of so far.
In one other case, it’s noteworthy that cutting-edge high-capacity DIMMs, corresponding to 32 GB, 48GB, and 64 GB, are usually not obtainable with the equal blistering XMP clockspeeds as quite a few of their lower-capacity counterparts, so equipping an Intel system with 256 GB of reminiscence will come at a price of peak reminiscence bandwidth, on prime of the regularly DDR5 2 DIMM Per Channel (2DPC) frequency penalty. Essentially, the quickest 48 GB modules in the meanwhile outfitted by Corsair and G.Means (which may very properly be used to assemble methods with 192 GB of reminiscence) prime out at 6600 MT/s and 6800 MT/s, respectively. Throughout the meantime, for now, there aren’t any Intel XMP 3.0-compatible 64 GB DDR5 modules from these two famend makers.
Lastly, the prime marketplace for high-capacity UDIMMs correct now goes to be content material materials supplies creators, knowledge scientists, and completely totally different workstation-light workloads that want a quarter-terabyte of RAM, and may justify the price for the trendy DIMMs. In one other case 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs are prone to stay the candy spot for the LGA1700 platform for the remainder of its lifecycle.
Lastly, it should be well-known that Asus could also be asserting (or pretty, reiterating) assist for 64 GB DIMMs on their AM5 motherboards. That talked about, this assistance is already baked into that platform and BIOSes, and in distinction to the Intel boards, a BIOS alternate is solely not wanted.
