Patriot has brought a plethora of new products to Computex 2025, including high-performance DDR5 memory, bleeding-edge SSDs, and hubs.
The Viper Xtreme 5 CKD is a new DDR5 CUDIMM memory module featuring data speeds of up to a whopping 9600MT/s. The star of the show is the module's integrated client clock driver, or CKD, which makes these speeds possible. CKD is a new memory technology launched alongside Intel's Core Ultra 200S series CPUs, which significantly improves memory clock speed headroom by using an integrated clock driver rather than the CPU's internal clock for controlling signal timings (this method reduces stress on the CPU's memory controller).
