CamelCamelCamel.
The odd amount is irritating me lol
Is it even legal?
And yet 24 is NOT an odd number. ;)
It is a relatively new thing, came out around half a yr ago.
As someone who hasn't built a PC since ddr4 all those numbers look wrong
Divide by 2 lol
😂
Anyone on AM5 can provide some feedback. Why are ram "design" for Intel Vs AMD? And what's the difference
The "new" thing for DDR 5 is being optimised or validated by AMD or Intel, this is not like a motherboard and cpu where only an intel cpu will work an intel motherboard. Any DDR5 will work, however compatibility, timings, speeds etc will all vary.
You want EXPO rated ram for AMD.
Having recently hopped onto the DDR5 bandwagon I can share the following findings… I will not cover the technical aspects such as signalling as it would be outside the scope of the question from a user end perspective.
The memory is the same for both (generally speaking) but the SPD device on the ram module that the motherboard queries to get timings, is different for Intel (XMP) and AMD (EXPO). Motherboards depending on manufacturer can use either XMP/EXPO profiles, and some memory kits contain both profiles. My understanding is EXPO has more fields for timing information hence it allows for more granular tweaking. Probably more applicable to overclockers but if you spend a truckload on a new system, why not ilk out every single spare byte of performance you can muster.
Intel XMP memory requires validation by Intel.
AMD EXPO is an open standard and does not have validation by AMD
AMD recently with the Agesa updates became more stable at high speeds such as 6000 and above
On my AMD system with 4 dimms populated I cannot reach my memories rated 6000MT speed as it's unstable, but its solid at 5600 on the second profile.
DDR5 allows a user to store their own profiles in the SPD
Intel does have better memory controllers to latency and speed is less of a factor then it is for AMD systems (for X3D parts, the difference less)
Buildzoid has some good youtube videos where he discusses ddr5 ram and overclocks them (https://www.youtube.com/@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking)
Thanks for that summary!. Both will work but you can squeeze a bit more out of the vendor specifics optimised xmp Vs expo kits.
Nice. Should have a 96 GB DDR5 system once Zen 6 or 7 is out.
Far out, im not even maxing my 32gb lol… ram is so cheap now. half tempted to store some and sell it during the rise thats no doubt coming sooner or later.
Yeah mate do that everybody loves a scalper :)
Wow didn't even know 24Gb modules existed.
Learn something new every day.
