XPG to launch DDR5 memory in Q3 2021

XPG announced in a press release that the clock frequencies of their first DDR5 drives are between 6000 and 7400 MHz. The individual DRAM modules will initially launch in volumes of 8, 16 or 32 GB. Adata’s gaming brand says it’s working with motherboard partners in hopes of ensuring the drives’ overclockability. Transfer speeds of 12,600 MT/s were promised, although users would have to switch on additional cooling for this, according to XPG.

Meanwhile, according to the DDR5 standard, the voltage is reduced to 1.1 volts. No statement has yet been made about any kits, consisting of several modules. The same goes for the CL timings: XPG didn’t say a word about that. It is precisely those delays that are interesting now, given that they can rise considerably again with the transition to a new generation of working memory.

However, XPG did announce the new disks with and without launching RGB lighting. In terms of design, the drives maintain a sleek appearance regardless of lighting.

XPG is one of the first memory manufacturers to specifically name a quarter for their DDR5 launch. Parties like Corsair and some Chinese manufacturers were quicker with their announcements, but not everyone is equally decisive in publishing the schedule.
