Pushing DDR5 beyond 6400 MT/s introduces signal degradation, clock jitter, and timing instability severe enough to require a different architecture. The industry’s fix is to move clock conditioning onto the module itself. The CUDIMM/CQDIMM (desktop) and CSODIMM (laptop) form factors embed an on-module client clock driver that conditions and redistributes the clock signal locally, rather […]
