Crucial RAM 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR5 4800MHz CL40 Desktop Memory CT2K8G48C40U5

Product Information

Micron builds DDR5 server memory with power management integrated circuits (PMICs) on the module, meaning that customers are not paying for power management of the entire system. This design can initially mean a lower overall cost to power DDR5 servers compared to DDR4 servers when some system slots are left open. Micron server memory is high quality and typically less expensive than OEM server memory. Kingston FURY™ Beast DDR5memory brings the latest cutting-edge technology for next-gen gaming platforms. Taking speed, capacity and reliability even further, DDR5 arrives with an arsenal of enhanced features, like on-die ECC (ODECC) for improved stability at extreme speeds, dual 32-bit subchannels for increased efficiency and an on-module power management integrated circuit (PMIC) to provide juice where it’s needed most.

Because this technology does nothing to ensure that the data received by the memory is correct, ECC-buffered DDR5 will be a separate product category sold primarily to workstation and server configurators in the same way that it was with past generations of memory modules. Standard consumer DDR5 won’t be labeled ECC, and it won’t correct bus errors.DDR5 memory and supporting hardware were released in 2021. Working closely with Intel, AMD, and motherboard manufacturers, Crucial was well positioned to support this exciting launch! DDR5 memory, the successor to DDR4 desktop and laptop memory, is the fifth-generation double data rate (DDR) SDRAM, and the performance improvements from DDR4 to DDR5 are the greatest yet.

Though the use of DDR5 doesn’t affect capacity demand, the increased capacity baseline of performance RAM comes at a time when increases in software complexity are already making 32GB an attractive starting point for high-end builds. We'd expect to see a move from 8GB as the starting point for mainstream systems based on DDR4, to 16GB with DDR5. The UL Procyon benchmark, which runs a consistent, repeatable workload on a licensed install of Adobe Premiere Pro, shows that more bandwidth can help matters, with DDR5-4800 taking the win there. The results of this test still indicate some gains for reduced latency when moving from CAS 22 to CAS 14 at DDR4-3200, however.Both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM modules have 288 pins. However, they do not share the same pin layout meaning DDR5 required a dedicated slot and a new motherboard. Is DDR5 good for gaming? Improved reliability: ODECC (on-die error correction code) detects all single- and double-bit error codes and resolves single-bit error codes before sending them to the host CPU/GPU. ODECC is an evolution included in the DDR5 specification that is designed to improve customer quality and enable future scaling. What that tells us: The answer to the question "Which is better, DDR5 or DDR4?" really comes down to which tests you include (or don't include). But whatever your selector set is, the results remain close, at least with today's modules.
