Crucial Updates Its DDR5 Pro Gaming Memory Portfolio With DDR5-6400
Micron Technology today announced that it is releasing its Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking (OC) gaming memory with new speeds of 6,400 megatransfers per second (MT/s) to provide a smoother, faster gaming experience. This product update follows its initial February release of the gaming memory solution, which ran at 6,000 MT/s. The Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory's new higher speed enables gaming at higher frame rates per second, accelerates multitasking and boosts productivity.
The updated gaming memory offers twice the data rates of DDR4 and 25% lower latency for seamless, rapid-fire gameplay. Underpinned by Micron's cutting-edge DRAM innovation, the DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory solution is built using Micron's sophisticated 1ß (1-beta) node technology to deliver performance gains, quality and reliability.
"Our customers know that every millisecond gained in fast-place gameplay means the difference between winning and losing," said Jonathan Weech, senior director of product marketing for Micron's Commercial Products Group. "With our gaming customers in mind, we've innovated our Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory to reach accelerated speeds that will allow gamers to beat the clock and focus on their next win - rather than worrying about performance bottlenecks."
The powerful memory delivers the essential speeds and bandwidth to satisfy the demands of next-gen multicore CPUs. The DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory is built to support the latest in both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO standards - as compared to many other solutions, which only support one or the other - providing a one-stop shop for ecosystem partners to offer customers flexibility across varying platforms.
In addition to being ideal for gamers, the Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory offers higher bandwidth to feed other data-intensive workflows, such as analyzing huge datasets, compiling complex codes, and rendering or editing images or 8K videos.
The new 6,400 MT/s speeds equip gamers and creators with massive bandwidth for effortless multitasking, switching seamlessly between apps.
Availability
The solution is available now - in a 16 gigabyte density with a unique, origami-inspired aluminium heat spreader offered in black or white for an appealing aesthetic - through crucial.com, as well as through etailers, retailers and global channel partners.

I personally like the understated style of this.
Speaking of Ballistix. I just happened to dig up a kit of DDR2 2x1gb 1066, (d9gmh goodness) I had stashed away with a Xeon 3070. I must have been planning on testing them in my retro 775 rig and forgot all about them.
However, they don't sell kits higher than 6400MT/s EXPO/XMP; I doubt we will see them soon.Their support is one of the best on the market. Since I remember, most stuff is replaced in 7 days with international shipping. RAM doesn't even require proof of purchase. They also have a low RMA rate and high compatibility with other devices. I'm not saying that every product is perfect, but I have used, sold, and reviewed their products for 20 years, and I can count maybe 3-4 with some design issues.
Btw. on AMD, these 6400MT/s kits perform about the same as the most expensive stuff. I also have no problems with compatibility (I have two kits in tests right now).
One "improvement" that probably no one noticed is that they turned around the heatsink with the label/PN, so when you install modules, you only see a Crucial logo in front, not the label. I complained about it several times, and they finally changed that. It's nothing really important, but people use all those glass panels, RGB, and other things for some reason. In the gamer/enthusiast series, it somehow counts.
Best I could do was 6400 CAS46 @ 1.35v. So dropped it to CAS42 and that's about it. Nothing that exciting. Absolutely hated me with 1.4v.
Also CUDIMM is a whole different thing, so I'm just referring to UDIMMs.
As I remember, the SODIMM couldn't run at more than 1.1V but still made 6400 CL46. The CUDIMM is a bit better, but not so much. I can make 2 ratios more on my kit than on the Pro OC UDIMMs.
