This new technology will only be compatible on motherboards with socket AM5, the one used by the AMD Ryzen 7000. It has been designed exclusively for the DDR5 RAM, just like Intel XMP 3.0. According to the company, the EXPO solution provides quite a remarkable extra performance that will be reflected, above all, in games.
AMD EXPO for RMA DDR5 memory
The information available regarding this technology is quite limited at this time. We assume that in the coming days we will learn more details of its operation. But, it should be quite similar to the Intel XMP 3.0 technologywith perhaps some adjustment thinking about the Ryzen 7000 processors.
According to the company, there are currently 15 kits of AMD EXPO Compatible DDR5 RAM. This technology requires a Ryzen 7000 processor and an AMD AM5 socket motherboard. They indicate that the profiles will be automatically adjusted in frequency and times after the BIOS screen. For this technology, in principle, certified parameters will be used to guarantee the stability of the memories.
Thanks to the information given by AMD, this solution shouldimprove performance in 1080p resolution by up to 11%. It is noted that the latency would be very low, less than 63 ns, approximately.
The company also highlights that this technology is a standard and royalty-free license. What this should allow is massive adoption, in addition, it will not have an impact on the memory kit.
We will have a total of 15 AMD EXPO compatible kits available with speeds up to 6400 MHz. Manufacturers that have developed AMD EXPO compatible kits include CORSAIR, ADATA, Geil, G.Skill and Kingston.
Certified DDR5 Kits for AMD EXPO
We are now going to see the manufacturers and memory models that receive this certification. We imagine that in the coming weeks the corresponding announcements will be made by the manufacturers.
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5
this set of DDR5 memories receive certification AMDEXPO. These memories are the most advanced in the company and make use of the DHX refrigeration. It is based on a high quality forged aluminum heatsink to dissipate heat and features 12 CORSAIR CAPELLIX RGB LEDswhich offer a great brightness.
This kit follows the company’s criteria of offering only individually selected high-frequency memory chips in these modules. This allows for higher quality modules, thinking of the most demanding users.
We will have configurations in the market with one module or two modules, in capacities of up to 64GB (2×32GB). They are currently available for purchase.
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5
For the DDR5 standard, this kit receives an update in the heatsink design, which goes from being a little more elegant than the previous model. The aluminum heatsink features a panoramic RGB light bar based on 10 addressable RGB LEDs. They have adjusted times, offer high performance and great benefits.
We will have one module or two module configurations on the market, in capacities of up to 64GB (2×32GB). They are currently available for purchase.
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo and Trident Z5 Neo RGB
Seeking to adapt to the needs or requirements of users, G.Skill launches these high-end kits. The modules Z5 Neo lack RGB lighting, while the Z5 NeoRGB, if they have lighting system. The rest of the features of these kits are the same, only the lighting changes.
The sink is thought keeps the matte black typical of its dust-coated memories. It is combined with a high quality brushed aluminum design. These memory kits combine excellently with the designs of most motherboards on the market.
G.Skill Flare X5
Those who are looking for something more simple and discreet, but with quality, have this G.Skill memory kit. The new one Flare X5 series It is based on individually selected and verified chips, seeking to offer the best quality and performance.
Note that this kit has been designed and optimized for motherboards with amd socket am5 that support DDR5. It has a low profile heatsink of only 33 mm in height and lacks RGB lighting.
