Faster file loading and transfer times

Crucial DDR5 desktop memory can enable your PC to transfer 50% more data at startup than DDR4, resulting in faster loading, file transfers, downloads, refresh rates and lower latency. Thanks to higher bus efficiency, DDR5 technology is not only faster than the previous generation, but also better.

More responsive multitasking

Crucial DDR5 offers 50% faster speeds than DDR4 at launch, providing users with extreme performance right out of the box. Even more impressive, Crucial DDR5 is optimized for increased performance and multitasking, not only during testing, but in real-world conditions. Opening more browser tabs and switching between apps is now more responsive than ever.

Extreme innovation for stable performance

Crucial DDR5 represents an extreme leap forward in engineering over the previous generation, offering two independent 32-bit channels per module to optimize performance. Designed with built-in component-level ECC (ODECC) for long-term stability, Crucial DDR5 is engineered to maintain the same reliability as the previous generation, even under the rigorous demands of next-gen computing.

Optimized energy efficiency

To increase performance and stability, Crucial DDR5 introduced voltage regulation on the module using an integrated power management chip (PMIC), which was found on the motherboard with older memory technologies. This results in better signaling and cleaner power supply to the modules (DIMMs). Moreover, the operating voltage of DDR5 on the module is only 1.1V compared to 1.2V of DDR4.
