ADATA Memory at CES 2025: CUDIMMs, CSODIMMs, and RDIMMs with RCD

ADATA at the 2025 International CES brought several of its latest memory products. The technology dominating memory products this year is CKD, or client clock driver. But there's more, ADATA also introduced memory modules with RCD, or registered clock driver, or a clock driver for RDIMMs. We begin our tour with the XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB series, the company's flagship PC overclocking memory product. The top-spec module shown here comes with speeds as high as DDR5-9733, a step above even the DDR5-9600 that most other brands brought. The module comes in densities of 16 GB and 24 GB; and speeds of DDR5-8400, DDR5-8800, DDR5-9200, DDR5-9600, besides the top DDR5-9733. When paired with a Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" processor in Gear 4 mode, these kits should easily cross 10,000 MT/s using manual overclocking.

Next up, the company showed us its AICore line of DDR5 RDIMMs for workstations and servers. The module packs an RCD, a registered clock driver, which is essentially a CKD for RDIMMs. It is a component that clears out and amplifies the DDR5 physical layer signal, letting the machine operate at higher memory frequencies. The AICore series comes in speeds of up to DDR5-8000, and densities of up to 16 GB per module. Other speed variants in the series include DDR5-6400 and DDR5-7200. The recommended platforms for these modules include Intel's Xeon W-3500/W-2500 series "Sapphire Rapids," and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series "Storm Peak."
ADATA also mainstreamed the CKD in its Premier line of DDR5 CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs. The CSODIMMs tick at speeds of up to DDR5-6400, making them perfect for the upcoming Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-HX" and Ryzen 9000HX3D "Fire Range" processors. The desktop CUDIMM comes in densities of up to 16 GB, and up to DDR5-6400 speeds. Lastly, we ran into ADATA's LPCAMM2 module, which comes in densities of 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB; and speeds of up to LPDDR5X-8533.
