Chinese vendor unveils 256GB of RAM that costs more than an MSRP RTX 5090 — Asgard's DDR5-6000 retails at an eye-watering $2,400, but is more affordable than some mainstream alternatives

Chinese vendor Asgard has introduced high-capacity memory kits, including a 256GB version that costs $2,400, surpassing the price of an RTX 5090 graphics card. The kits, themed around Norse mythology, feature DDR5-6000 memory modules optimized for AMD platforms. Asgard also released a more affordable 192GB kit aimed at AMD platforms. Despite the high prices, Asgard's kits are competitive in the current market, offering lower costs compared to some mainstream alternatives. However, Asgard products are primarily available in the Chinese market, posing challenges for international buyers due to tariffs and limited availability.
