                            <![CDATA[ Is the answer to the RAM crisis Chinese-made DRAM that's much cheaper to source since those companies aren't tied up in AI data center contracts? It's too early to say yet, but when a manufacturer as big as Corsair starts using DDR5 modules from ChangXing Memory Technologies (CXMT), that notion gains a lot of merit. ]]>

                            <![CDATA[ HUDIMM is being proposed as a cheaper memory spec using only 1x 32-bit subchannel per stick instead of 2x 32-bit in order to populate less ICs. Turns out, halving the bandwidth like that actually slashes the performance in half too, alongside the expected capacity reduction. Two HUDIMMs running in dual channel perform similar to a single regular DDR5 stick. ]]>
