ASRock Adds 256GB Max Memory and 64GB DIMM Support to its AMD AM5 and Intel 700-series Motherboards

[btarunr]

ASRock is announcing the support of 64 GB DDR5 memory module across Intel 700 Series and AMD AM5 Series motherboards. This enhancement boosts the maximum memory capacity to 256 GB with 4 DIMMs, offering increased performance and compatibility for enthusiasts. Additionally, we are committed to expanding support for the 64 GB DDR5 memory module across more motherboards with various chipsets, enhancing productivity for memory-intensive multitasking applications.

Running at 4400 per the pictures.

One day maybe we'll be able to run them faster, with new CPUs.

Good to see Asrock providing High res screenshots.

Maybe with next Gen CPUs from both parties.

What we've seen so far with DDR5 are very slow improvements. But while some people can make good use of 256 GB of "slow" RAM, which is more than before, others will be happy to get 128 GB of fast RAM with just two sticks, which also is more than before.

Is a new BIOs required for this?

Yes of course.

Well, considering that 128GB doesn't work beyond 3600, this is beyond useless. How about improving memory stability and speeds, or perhaps allow for 4 DIMMS at advertised speeds, before we waste time on a capacity that only a handful of people will ever use? I have the exact motherboard that ASRock showcased this new feature on and it doesn't even do 128GB past 3600, so I highly doubt this will work well.

To provide 256GB on 4 bars with a 6000 Speed as shown will be a problem for Asus. The Voltage of the channels is higher that Asus offers for 4 Bars on their mainboards. They request a voltage of equal or below 1,25V on AM5 boards. They will run with a maximum of a 5600 speed because there the Bars don't need more voltage as seen on the picture of the article.
