Both DDR5-8000 options, with their ultra-high speeds and optimized timings, are tailored for overclocking and extreme performance scenarios that push the system to the limit. These profiles excel in scenarios where every ounce of speed is needed, such as high-end gaming, benchmarking, or other performance-demanding tasks. The DDR5-6400 option strikes a more balanced approach, prioritizing lower latencies while still delivering a strong performance. With its lower latency, the DDR5-6400 provides smooth gaming, faster application load times, and overall system responsiveness.
Exploring Overclocking Limits at DDR5-8000 CL34 & CL36
The Biwin OC Lab Gold Edition DW100 DDR5-8000 CL34 and CL36 are a result of tight binning and advanced die selection, minimizing the traditional trade-off between frequency and latency that is often seen in high-speed modules. With manual overclocking, the modules can even be overclocked to 8400 MT/s, higher than the advertised frequencies, which are shown with CL34 latency across four major motherboard manufacturers—ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock—ensuring reliable operation under standard operating temperatures. Refer to the screenshots below to see the DDR5-8000 memory on the Ryzen 9 9000 Series processors and X870 / B850 / B840 motherboards in the Memtest memory stress test.

Dynamic clocks make all the difference in Biwin’s next-gen memory
If there’s one component in PCs that hasn’t really changed much over the past couple of decades, it’s memory. While newer memory generations have offered faster speeds and greater capacity support, there have been few new features or evolutions of the standard that make a difference all by themselves. But that all changed in 2024 with the emergence of CUDIMMs—so different from traditional memory, these modules deserved their own acronym.
These Clocked Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules, as opposed to the more traditional UDIMMs, introduce a new clock driver chip, hence the added “C” in the name. This boosts the signal from the CPU’s onboard memory controller, enhancing its integrity, and bolstering system stability and potentially performance, too. It’s a true next-generation memory standard that will make its way into most high-performance PCs in 2025, and Biwin is one company looking to push that envelope.
Faster than ever
DDR5 RAM effectively doubled memory performance over its DDR4 predecessors, and introduced onboard voltage regulation that improved efficiency. While it didn’t make a huge difference at the time, newer generations of CPUs are taking ever-more advantage of faster memory frequencies.
But those speeds are pushing up on the boundaries of what’s possible for onboard memory controllers, which is where CUDIMM comes in. The clock driver chip takes the timing and voltage amplitudes from the memory controller’s signal, and reconditions them. That ensures better synchronization across each memory chip, reduced clock jitter, and greater signal integrity. This is absolutely imperative for ultra high speed memory, and it’s unlocked some higher frequencies for chip manufacturers taking advantage of this new technology.
Biwin’s DW100 line of memory was already a powerhouse, offering speeds up to 8,400 mega transfers per second (MT/s), but its new CUDIMM variants are faster still. With the built-in clock driver, these kits can reach up to 9,200 MT/s, and with a low CAS latency of CL42, too. That’s comparable to the timings of much-slower DDR5-5200 kits, while offering a more than 75 percent increase in speed, showing just how impressive CUDIMM modules can be.
Arguably just as impressive as the improved performance is the boost to efficiency. Although the DDR5 memory standard was designed to bring memory modules down to 1.1v, in reality many overclocked modules still require 1.4v to hit higher speeds. With CUDIMM, 1.1v is back in play, and with the unlocked PMIC, these modules can dynamically adjust voltages as needed to ensure a stable supply and efficiency operation. That particularly helps keep temperatures down as frequencies are pushed higher and higher.
In Biwin’s DW100 CUDIMM modules, you can expect a tri-fin cooling solution with multi-zoned RGB lighting for memory that performs cool and looks cool in equal measure.
Fun for some, for now
The only caveat with all this excitement? It’s mostly a Team Blue advantage for now. Intel’s Arrow Lake processors on Z890 motherboards are ready and willing to boost performance with new CUDIMM memory standards, with many supporting the full 9,200 MT/s offered by the new Biwin DW100 CUDIMM kits.
AMD Ryzen platforms on the latest X870 motherboards can enjoy enhanced performance, but for most motherboards that will only be in “Bypass” mode, which doesn’t take advantage of the clock driver chip. You can manually overclock to get the full performance in some cases, but it’s a little more hands-on than would otherwise be required. You’ll also need to contend with the maths of balancing infinity fabric and memory clock ratios.

Learn how Biwin’s Black Opal X570 PRO delivers extreme performance for hardcore PC builders. New standards, new controllers, and faster performance than ever before.
The long-standing advice for PC storage for gamers, workers, and everyone in between has always been, “Just use an SSD.” It didn’t matter too much if you were using a PCIe 3 SSD, a PCIe 4 SSD, or even an older SATA SSD. The on-paper performance advances in the top drives just didn’t deliver the kind of real-world advantages that would make it worth recommending them every time.
But that may be starting to change with a whole new generation of NVMe 2.0 SSDs, which are faster, leaner, and more capable than ever before.
This is an important distinction, too, because while PCIe 5 SSDs have been around for a while, they haven’t yet garnered the interest they deserve, because frankly the value proposition they made wasn’t that impressive. As we move into 2025, however, the latest generation of SSDs from Biwin and other manufacturers could be the best place to install next year’s demanding games and applications for peak performance.
The advantages of NVMe 2.0
Don’t worry, NVMe 2.0 isn’t introducing any new form-factors or slot types, so these new drives are fully compatible with your existing motherboards and can slot right into any available PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots without any difficulty. They won’t perform like any drives they replace, though, as they include some intriguing new advances that give them a real leg-up on all the drives that came before.
Biwin’s Black Opal X570 Pro offers full support for the NVMe 2.0 protocol, introducing features like zoned namespaces, which lets your operating system and drive better manage data placement within memory cells, boosting performance and increasing available capacity. There are also new NVMe key value commands, which reduce the work the controller has to do in reading data, as well as additional features for improving drive durability.
All of that is combined with a new 6nm controller which supports up to eight flash memory channels at once, for enhanced read and write performance. The X570 Pro has a sustained read/write speed of 14,000 MBps and 13,000 MBps, respectively, and a random read performance as high as 2000K IOPS. For games and apps that can take full advantage of cutting-edge SSD performance, this is going to be one of the best ways to experience them.
It comes fitted with a graphene heat spreader for light heat dissipation and easy compatibility with a wide range of desktops, laptops, and other devices, and is available in capacities from 1TB up to 4TB.
As with other SSDs, you’ll find the greatest durability with the larger capacity models, as they simply have more memory cells to work with, so can spread the load more evenly. However, thanks to advances in NVMe technology and Biwin’s strict manufacturing standards, the new X570 Pro SSDs offer stellar TBW ratings. You can fill the 2TB drive up to 2,000 times (1,500TBW) before you should see any performance degradation, and up to 4,000 times (3,000TBW) on the 4TB model. That’s far more than you’d see on most consumer devices, and shows just how advanced this next-generation of PCIe 5 SSDs really is.

The latest memory cards are faster and more durable than ever. Here’s how Biwin’s stand out from the pack.
If you’re working with high-resolution video like 4K or 8K, then there is one guarantee to your work: You’re going to produce a monstrous quantity of data. That in turn often means working with many inadequate memory cards. They’re not big enough to store all your data, and certainly not fast enough to get it off the card in a timely manner. But that’s just the price you pay for dealing with UHD video, right?
Not necessarily. A new generation of memory cards using the PCIe 4.0 protocol is set to increase memory card performance by 10-fold, ushering in a new era of high-performance, portable storage cards that will finally make dealing with 4K and 8K more viable. The Biwin Amber CB500 CFexpress 4.0 Type B delivers unmatched speed and durability for demanding work on the go.
Reaching new heights
Until recently, even the fastest cards could only manage a few hundred megabytes per second of sustained read and write performance, making mass transfers of files from your supporting devices to a PC or laptop a painfully slow experience. With this next-generation of CB500 CFexpress 4.0 Type B cards, though, there’s a whole new frontier of performance to unlock, which fundamentally changes how you’ll use them.
The 1TB model of Biwin’s CB500 cards can deliver sustained read speeds up to 3,750 MBps, and sustained write speeds up to 3,500 MBps, leveraging the full power of its PCIexpress Gen 4 x2 interface to get data on and off the card faster than ever before. These are designed to work directly with the most high-resolution digital imaging and video cameras out there, with native support for 4K, 6K, and 8K raw recording. They’re ready for future 12K cameras with built in CFexpress 4 Type B slots, too.
Ultimately, all that means that your waiting days are over. With this next-generation of Biwin CB500 cards, you can get even a full terabyte of data off it and onto your PC or Mac in a matter of seconds, rather than minutes. That boosts productivity, and reduces the number of cards you need, since you can clean one out and get back to using it almost immediately.
Worried about heat? All that added performance does come at a cost, so the Amber CB500 range is built with intelligent thermal control algorithms that help manage performance to modulate heat and prevent thermal throttling. The housing of these cards is made with aluminium and smart conductive layers to aid heat dissipation, too.
Still, there’s no accounting for the environment you’re filming in, so these cards are built to withstand it all. Their operating temperatures range from -12 degrees C, all the way up to 72 degrees C, and you can store them at up to -20 or +85 degrees C, without difficulty. That aluminium shell doubles as a protective housing, too, making these cards almost entirely immune to shock and magnetic interference, as well as physical wear and tear.
Want more? There’s more
What UHD filmmaker couldn’t use additional storage? While the new Biwin CFexpress 4.0 Type B cards are a great fit for all your devices, they’re not the best solution for storing masses of footage on the go. For that, you want either a laptop, or a leaner portable SSD, like Biwin’s PR2000. These drives introduce a whole new generation of portable SSD performance, promising up to 2,000 MB/s of sustained read performance, and up to an 8 TB capacity, making it an all-in-one storage solution for all the data you’ll produce on the move.
Alongside high performance, these drives are built to withstand the elements, too. With an integrated carry loop making transport easy, even in harsh environments, the two-shot, injection-molded design is tough and resilient, with an added silicon cover providing a secondary layer of impact and 3 meters drop protection, making it IP67 water& dust resistant, allowing it to withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.
This is a drive that’s ready for whatever you throw at it.
