The JEDEC standards organization is developing a new CQDIMM specification for DDR5 memory. This standard will support 4-Rank CKD modules, effectively doubling capacity to 128GB per module while maintaining speeds of 7200 MT/s. Motherboard manufacturers, including MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS, are reportedly preparing their high-end models to support this new technology.
This initiative follows a recent collaboration between MSI and ADATA that demonstrated a 4-Rank CUDIMM module. The forthcoming CQDIMM standard is expected to be formally introduced with future platforms. Industry reports suggest Intel's Arrow Lake-S Refresh processors may be the first to leverage these higher-capacity memory modules.
