SK HYNIX

Company announces 32 GB DDR5-6400 UDIMM and SO-DIMM memory modules that run at 6400 MHz without overclocking

SK hynix has unveiled what it claims are the world's first 32GB DDR5-6400 UDIMM and SO-DIMM memory modules for desktops and laptops respectively. These modules are initially capable of operating at an effective frequency of 6400 MHz without requiring the use of special Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO overclocking profiles.

The manufacturer notes that samples of DDR5-6400 memory modules with a capacity of 32GB are already being sent to various OEMs for testing.

The South Korean company claims that its 6400Mbps DDR5 modules are currently the fastest DDR5 product with similar characteristics. To maintain stable operation in DDR5-6400 mode, the new modules use a new device called CKD (Clock Driver). It eliminates clock quality issues that occur when memory is running at high speeds.

We add that the fastest of the currently presented memory modules is the G.Skill, for which support for DDR5-7800 mode is declared. But in this case we are talking about the guaranteed possibility of overclocking these modules to the specified effective frequency using XMP 3.0 profiles.

Next year, SK hynix plans to master the production of DDR5 chips using 10nm class 5th generation (1b) technology and EUV (hard ultraviolet) lithography, which will reduce power consumption and increase chip performance.
