AMD CPUs should support CUDIMM memory soon, but not this generation
Official product render of the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo memory for AMD.

AMD processors can't make full use of CUDIMM memory just yet, but it may well do before the end of this socket. In a recent interview with DigitalTrends, AMD's product management lead for gaming and workstations, Sourabh Dhir, told us that there was no reason that AM5 couldn't support CUDIMM, but wouldn't be draw on a timeline of when we might see it.

Considering we expect AM5 to be AMD's flagship CPU socket for the next couple of generations at least, that probably means we don't have long to wait for the added memory speed support.

MSI Claw 8 connected to a monitor

The MSI Claw 8 AI+ Polar Tempest model first launched in April before being removed from MSI's website, but has now returned with a dedicated product listing and a July 15 release date for the United States.

The latest run of the Polar Tempest Edition comes with 2TB of storage and is priced at $999, versus the original Sandstorm model with 1TB of storage and an $899 price tag. In addition to a US release, fans have spotted listings in Germany, which suggest Europe will also get another release this summer. The only other difference is the white front panels (hence the Polar moniker).
