Micron Unveils 24GB and 48GB DDR5 Memory Modules
Leading memory and storage provider Micron recently unveiled new DDR5 memory modules with capacities of 24GB and 48GB. The modules are simple to set up and use with desktop PCs running the AMD Ryzen 7000 series as well as Intel 12th and 13th Gen Core processors because they are compatible with AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles.
The new DDR5 memory modules from Micron have CL46 latency at 1.1V and data transfer rates of 5200 and 5600 MT/ s, respectively. The new 24GB and 48GB models stand out because they are based on 24Gb memory chips, whereas traditional Dimensions may use 16GB DRAM ICs. DDR5- 5600 DIMMs are available in traditional 8GB, 16, and 32GB versions. DDR5- 5200 modules, meanwhile, can only be purchased in sizes 8GB, 16, and 32GB.
Because they enable systems to balance memory capacity and core count, which lowers cost, the 24GB and 48GB capacities are perfect for next-generation server platforms. Additionally, AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, which are primarily intended for enthusiasts, are supported, indicating that these Modules are desktop-focused.
You can create a PC with 48GB or 96GB of dual-channel memory, which is less expensive than an apparatus with 64GB, or 128GB RAM, by using fewer 24GB- or two48GB modules rather than two 32GB and64GB DIMMs. For modern CPUs with 16 or 24 cores, however, capacities like 48GB and 96GB are better suited. For instance, if you're running a virtual machine, you might get 2GB or 3GB per core.
The suggested prices for Micron's DDR5- 5200 and MDR5, 5600 modules have not been made public. New memory modules are anticipated to be relatively inexpensive, despite their high capacity and higher performance, given the anticipated low PC demand in Q1 and the predicted 18– 23% drop in DDR5 SDRAM prices in Qu1 2023.
