Asrock's new HUDIMM standard wants to make DDR5 affordable again, by cutting it in half

The half-bandwidth, half-density memory spec was co-developed with Intel and TeamGroup
Please Burst: Asrock recently introduced the HUDIMM standard, a new type of DDR5 RAM module designed to slash performance and keep the PC memory market affordable throughout some never-before-seen market conditions. The new HUDIMM modules are essentially a worse edition of traditional DDR5, because memory prices inflated by enterprise and AI demand have pushed capable consumer hardware increasingly out of reach for mainstream buyers.

The takeaway: A recent free-game promotion on Steam is drawing attention to how giving away a title can still generate substantial revenue when there is a clear path to selling additional content. A four-day free giveaway of Graveyard Keeper, a title published by tinyBuild, generated roughly $250,000 in revenue, according to CEO Alex Nichiporchik. Most of that money came afterward, as new players who claimed the free copy went on to purchase downloadable content for the game.

AI infrastructure boom pushes AMD, Intel and Arm to new valuation heights

Nvidia still dominates, but AI demand is lifting the rest of the chip market

The effect has been evident with CPU vendors as of late. AMD's stock traded at $278 on Thursday, putting its market value at about $454 billion. Intel's rally from early March pushed the stock toward $68 and lifted its market cap to just under $340 billion. Arm's shares, meanwhile, traded close to $165, valuing the company at roughly $174 billion.
