Chinese Manufacturer Asgard to Launch DDR5 128 GB, 5,600 MHz Sticks As Early as 2022

Chinese company Jiahe Jinwei owns a sub-brand of gaming-oriented products named after Norse mythology - Asgard. The company has now announced that the trial production for high-speed DDR5 modules using Micron's semiconductors has completed without issue, meaning that their roadmap is going through without a hitch. Of course, as with the introduction of any new DDR memory standard, operating frequencies are still in their nascent stage; Asgard currently is only offering 4,800 MHz DDR5 sticks, which the most premium DDR4 sticks can already surpass.

It's only a matter of time before DDR5 speeds accelerate however, and Asgard is already planning to launch 5600 MHz DDR5 kits as early as 2022. These should be available in 32 GB and 128 GB capacities with a CAS latency of 46 cycles. The next step in performance increase would look towards 6,400 MHz kits, but these should only be expected towards the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023, should the development continue to move along smoothly. All of the DDR5 memory speeds should still make do with a relatively puny 1.1 V.

All the memory you buys where designed to meet the JEDEC spec but they are binned to high end memory stick.

So if they aim these spec, some of the chip will be able to be binned to faster memory (either higher clock or higher speed). That's it. At first yields might be lower so there won't be much hi speed DDR5 but that can change quickly.

The memory cell itself remain the same technology and will probably able to run as fast as they do currently.

KaotikSpec is dictated by JEDEC, it's not "a temporary compromise between manufacturers", and even the sticks that don't adhere to spec when run at "full speed" actually default to DDR4-2133 at JEDEC spec latencies.
JEDEC is not a government entity like US FDA or FCC. JEDEC is a board of memory manufacturers, CPU/MCU manufacturers, mobo manufacturers, and server manufacturers. They empower JEDEC not the reverse. If they don't settle on some agreement, they there won't be a JEDEC standard to begin with. Partly the reason why DDR5's rollout went through so much pain and LPDDR5's was swift and fast.
