(Image credit: Asgard) Chinese memory and SSD manufacturer Asgard has announced via the company's Weixin account the introduction of two high-capacity memory kits. While these kits may not rank among the best RAM , they are notably among the most costly available. The 256GB (4 x 64GB) version sells for up to 20% more than a GeForce RTX 5090 , one of the best graphics cards on the market.
Staying true to its Norse mythology-themed products, Asgard has launched the Valkyrie II Racing Car Limited Edition 256GB memory kit. The four 64GB DDR5 memory modules, which feature a 10-layer PCB with 4GB SK hynix M-die integrated circuits, operate at DDR5-6000 with C32-45-45-90 timings. Asgard has optimized the memory kit for AMD platforms, so it comes with AMD EXPO support, but Intel XMP 3.0 remains uncertain.
Asgard has also released the Thor Black Gold Limited Edition 192GB (4 x 48GB) memory kit for individuals who don't want to spend an enormous fortune on memory. The kit comprises four 48GB DDR5 modules with a 10-layer PCB, incorporating 3GB SK hynix M-die integrated circuits. These modules operate at DDR5-6000 with notable timings of 28-36-36-72. Additionally, Asgard has tailored the Thor Black Gold Limited Edition toward AMD platforms, so AMD EXPO support is a given; however, support for Intel XMP 3.0 remains unconfirmed.
Grab a 32GB DDR5 memory kit at the cheapest available price before it disappears
