Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 4800MHz CL40 Desktop Memory CT2K32G48C40U5

Product Information

It's the kind of kit that will have a long life, too. In a few years from now, 64GB will still be more than useful, especially if you're talking about a high-end gaming PC.

The answer depends on what speeds and latencies we're talking about. Games tend to be sensitive to latency, where lower is better. A good low-latency DDR4 kit is still a viable gaming option. However, the real-world performance differences are small and non-existent in GPU-limited scenarios, which is usually the case unless you're chasing very high frames per second.

Knowing this, we’re sure you’ll have a few questions before deciding whether or not this is the time to take the leap into unknown memory waters. We still have plenty of questions ourselves, which we're working out in our first few weeks on this new platform. (Indeed, we just finished our first formal tests of DDR5 versus DDR4 modules.) This guide is designed to make those new waters less intimidating. That's not to say they aren't deep, though! Let's go to the Q&A. No, DDR5 server memory and DDR4 motherboards are incompatible. DDR5 will only fit in DDR5 server motherboards for all CPUs (central processing units) released into the market after October 2022. DDR5 is designed for data-intensive workloads like generative AI, machine learning, deep learning and other workloads running complex algorithms. How is DDR5 frequency categorized, in megahertz or megatransfers per second?

In addition to the previously mentioned capacity increase, DDR5 will offer around twice as much bandwidth as DDR4. Since most consumer applications are hardly bandwidth-starved, and those that are typically favor lower latency, the greatest performance gain will likely occur in games, when using integrated graphics. No, it won't. Even though both types have 288 pins, DDR4 and DDR5 memory is electrically incompatible. The two types have a different notch positions, to prevent anyone from inserting a DDR5 module into a DDR4 motherboard, or vice versa. How much RAM do I need? More performance: DDR5 run speeds start at 4800MT/s while DDR4 offers a maximum speed of 3200MT/s. As a result of this increase, we see two times the performance in HPC (high-performance compute) workloads. In the case of deep learning, Micron DDR5 memory delivers up to five times the performance of DDR4.Whether you’re pushing the limits in your gaming with the most extreme settings, live streaming at 4K+ or pushing large animations and 3D rendering, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory is the level-up needed, while seamlessly bridging style and unleashing performance.

There are four angles in the world of DDR that everyone involved in the specification wants to iterate on. Capacity is the obvious one, but also memory bandwidth plays a key role in performance scaling of common multi-core workloads in the large core-count servers we are seeing. The other two are power (an obvious goal), and the other is latency, another key metric for performance. The real strength of the Kingston Fury Beast kit is its value for money. At the time of writing it was one of the cheapest 2x16GB 6000MHz kits on the market, and that is a level of speed that is right at the top end of the market even today. Remember, you would traditionally be looking at 3,600MHz DDR4 kits as relatively high-end just a year or so ago. The Crucial DDR5-4800 2x 32GB kit is as generic as it gets, but if you need a lot of RAM for whatever task you want to throw at it, it's a great choice. 64GB of system memory is going to see you right for many years going forward, and despite what you might feel about that 4800MHz speed looking a little lowly for modern DDR5, those Micron ICs do some serious heavy lifting in there.While not the most eye-catching kit on the market, this DDR5 RAM kit from PNY offers incredible performance for the price, making it a great option for PC builders looking to make a more affordable PC gaming rig without having to sacrifice too much in the way of performance. Lighting customisable with Kingston FURY CTRL software or with motherboard RGB control software. RGB customisation support through third-party software may vary.
