ASUS Engineer Demonstrates DDR5 HUDIMM Memory on Core Ultra 7 265K
An ASUS engineer has demonstrated the operation of next-generation DDR5 HUDIMM memory alongside Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K processor, showing both simulated and real-world functionality on an ROG platform.
Experimental HUDIMM Simulation on ASUS ROG Platform
According to details shared by ASUS ROG engineer Bin Lin, the company’s upcoming motherboards will natively support the HUDIMM DDR5 memory format. To illustrate how it works, Lin simulated HUDIMM behavior on an ROG Z890 APEX motherboard using standard DDR5 UDIMM modules.
For the experiment, part of the контакты (pins) on SK hynix UDIMM modules were physically isolated, effectively disabling one of the two memory subchannels. As a result, two 24 GB modules were recognized by the system as a combined 24 GB configuration (2 × 12 GB). Despite this modification, the memory operated at speeds up to 6000 MHz when paired with the Core Ultra 7 265K processor.
Real HUDIMM Module Tested and Detected in BIOS
Beyond the simulation, Lin also demonstrated a real 8 GB TEAMGROUP HUDIMM module. The module features only half of its memory chips active and successfully booted without issues.
As shown in the BIOS interface (page 2), the system correctly detected the memory, operating at a standard speed of 4800 MT/s.
Compatibility With Standard DDR5 and Practical Use Cases
The demonstration also highlighted that HUDIMM memory can be combined with conventional DDR5 modules. For example, pairing an 8 GB HUDIMM stick with a 16 GB UDIMM results in performance comparable to a full UDIMM configuration.
Such hybrid setups could offer a temporary solution for users, particularly while DRAM prices remain volatile. This flexibility may make HUDIMM a practical transitional technology as the industry moves toward broader adoption of new memory standards.
