CRUCIAL DESKTOP DDR5 MEMORY

DDR5
Not Just Faster. Better.

Crucial DDR5 Desktop Memory powers a new era of computing innovation

Empower your next-generation, multi-core CPU

Crucial DDR5 Desktop Memory has the high speed needed for the next generation of multi-core CPUs, but it’s not just faster than DDR4, it’s better ¹. Multitask seamlessly, load, analyze, edit, and render faster — all with higher frame rates, significantly less lag, and optimized power efficiency over the previous generation ². With Crucial DDR5 Desktop Memory, your computer ³ can harness blazing speeds that were once only possible with extreme performance memory ⁴.

Extreme performance right out-of-the-box

Crucial DDR5 Memory can transfer data up to 1.75x faster and deliver up to 2x more bandwidth than DDR4, resulting in shorter load times, file transfers, downloads, lag time and improved refresh rates. Performance is enhanced not just during testing, but in real-world conditions ².

Best value with support for Intel ^® XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO ^™

Even with CPUs that suppress memory speed, Crucial DDR5 desktop memory can reach its rated speeds with Intel® XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO™ turned on in the UEFI/BIOS settings ⁶. Get the full value of your investment without overpaying for performance and enjoy the flexibility of using your Crucial DDR5 Desktop Memory in either an Intel or AMD build ⁷.

No latency downsides with DDR5

Crucial DDR5’s system latency, measured in nanoseconds, is only up to 3% longer than DDR4 during testing ⁸, meaning real-world latency performances are virtually the same. With Crucial DDR5 delivering up to 2x more bandwidth, DDR4 is still outperformed.

Optimized power efficiency

For improved efficiency and stability, Crucial DDR5 introduces on-module voltage regulation with a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), which was on the motherboard with older memory technologies ⁹. This results in improved signaling and cleaner power for the modules (DIMMs). Moreover, DDR5’s on-module operating voltage is only 1.1V compared to DDR4’s 1.2V.

Micron ^® quality – tested reliability you can trust

As the vertically integrated consumer brand of Micron, Crucial is trusted by millions for reliability, performance, and compatibility. Unlike module assemblers, our unique relationship with Micron involves a deeper level of engineering collaboration to squeeze every ounce of performance from our products without compromising reliability. With Micron’s 43+ years of manufacturing excellence and Crucial’s 25+ years of consumer product development, Crucial DDR5 is backed by our limited lifetime warranty ⁵ and delivers the powerful performance you can trust. When it comes to memory, don’t settle for less.

DDR5 architecture includes efficiency improvements that deliver 36% more system bandwidth than DDR4, even at the same theoretical speeds of 3200MT/s, due to the high bus efficiency of DDR5 technology. Combined with lower voltage per module, this design provides superior (better) performance.
Under memory-intensive workloads, DDR5 can deliver up to 2x the bandwidth, per an internal simulation of dual ranked x8 modules in client platforms.
Only with a DDR5-enabled CPU and motherboard. DDR5 desktop memory is not compatible with DDR4 motherboards.
DDR5 launch speeds of 4800MT/s are comparable to extreme-performance DDR4 memory speeds and are 1.5x faster than maximum standard DDR4 speeds of 3200MT/s.
Limited lifetime warranty valid everywhere except Germany and France, where warranty is valid for ten years from the date of purchase.
Crucial DDR5 desktop memory modules (UDIMM) can reach rated speeds with Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPOTM turned on in the UEFI/BIOS settings. Applicable for all Crucial DDR5 desktop memory (UDIMM) modules except Crucial DDR5-4800 desktop memory, which supports only Intel® XMP 3.0. Based on published competitor specs for DDR5 memory as of October 2022. Altering clock frequency or voltage may result in damage to computer components. Micron disclaims any and all liability for such damage. Warranty voided if Crucial DRAM modules are set to overclock beyond JEDEC specifications, rated speeds, and timings.
Crucial DDR5 Memory is standard JEDEC memory. Memory speed is not controlled exclusively by the module itself but also by the memory controller in the CPU and the BIOS/firmware on the motherboard. XMP or EXPO support is provided on desktop memory (UDIMM) modules so customers can easily recover memory performance up to JEDEC speeds if experiencing a system-level downclocking of their memory. Performance recovery is not guaranteed on all DDR5 systems and is highly dependent on the CPU tier, motherboard tier, and BIOS stability.
Compared to published DDR4-3200 speeds.
DDR5 modules (DIMMs) introduce voltage regulation on the module through a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), which enables better power regulation and reduces the scope of DRAM power delivery network (PDN) management on the motherboard for increased efficiency.
