MSI Enables Support for 24 & 48 GB DDR5 DIMMs, up to 192GB RAM
Today MSI is announcing the support of 48 GB and 24 GB DDR5, non-binary memory across Intel 700 and 600 Series motherboards, including MEG, MPG, MAG, and PRO Series products. Namely, the maximum memory capacity support is increased to 192 GB for 4 DIMMs motherboards and 96 GB for 2 DIMMs motherboards. MSI has committed to providing performance and compatibility to DIY enthusiasts.
It is unnecessary to update motherboard BIOS for supporting 48 GB based memory modules. Just install the new memory module to enjoy a more efficient system with more productivity, especially for those multi-tasking gamers and users.[/url]

For example: see DDR4, 2133 to 2666 MT/s in the initial samples that released alongside Haswell-E in 2014, to the current-generation 3800-4400+ MT/s chips.
There's a price premium for these modules too, so the chances are high that 48GB using a pair of 24GB DIMMS is actually more expensive than many 64GB kits.
Honestly, the only place they make sense is in prosumer workstations where you're trying to squeeze more than 128GB RAM into a puny 4-slot consumer board.
In the case of RAM, larger dies can't replace denser dies. They wouldn't fit on the DIMM. Ten in a row need to fit on the module because chips are designed for server modules. Consumer DIMMs with eight chips in a row and some space between are just a byproduct.
(i guess i am overly lucky with hardware... aside with Razer tho, long story )
I can barely justify 32 GB for gaming.
Could definitely be useful for workstations if threadripper 7000 supports such modules. Even 384GB not enough.
For Servers and Workstations I can definitely see the need.
Someone hit the lottery or something for this much memory :eek:
