RAM shortage stalls CUDIMM, CAMM2 and mainstream DDR5-8000 adoption

The ongoing DRAM shortage has delayed the rollout of CUDIMM, CAMM2 and high-speed DDR5-8000 memory for desktop PCs. CUDIMM kits now carry roughly a 50% premium over equivalent UDIMM kits, and no desktop CAMM2 modules have reached the market.

• CUDIMM kits now cost about 50% more than equivalent UDIMM kits
• No desktop CAMM2 modules or compatible motherboards have shipped
• Intel Arrow Lake Refresh supports DDR5-7200, AMD Zen 5 supports DDR5-5600
• Asrock's HUDIMM halves the bus width to 32 bits at the same capacity
