AMD Ryzen 9000 processors will offer better memory controllers and native support for fast DDR5 RAM

AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors, although capable of working with 6400MB/s DDR5 RAM, are often dependent on the specific CPU and taken into account in terms of overclocking. According to the latest information, the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series will have improved controllers that natively support fast 6400 MT/s RAM. With a 1:2 splitter, it will be possible to achieve speeds of up to 8000 MT/s.

Information about memory controllers in AMD Ryzen 9000 processors has appeared on the Internet. The upcoming CPUs will natively support fast DDR5 6400 MT/s in a 1:1 split and 8000 MT/s RAM in a 1:2 split.

In the processor tests conducted by our editorial team, you can see that the AMD Ryzen 7000 processors were able to work with DDR5 RAM at speeds of 6400 MT/s in a 1:1 split and 7200 MT/s in asynchronous 1:2 mode. However, it is worth noting that these CPUs officially only support speeds up to 5200 MHz/s. Now that is about to change thanks to the new memory controllers in the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series, and the improvements are expected to provide native speeds of up to 6400 MT/s in synchronous 1:1 mode and 8000 MT/s in asynchronous 1:2 mode. There is also talk of achieving transfers of around 9000 MT/s as part of an overclock for selected processors.

Unfortunately, to enjoy the fastest DDR5 RAM available, you’ll need to swap out your motherboard for one with the X870 and X870E chipsets. Another important piece of information is that by default, AMD Ryzen 9000 processors will operate without Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) enabled, allowing users to choose whether they prefer maximum performance or power efficiency. A comparison between the AMD Ryzen 9950X and Intel Core 14900KS CPUs has also appeared online in the Cinebench R23 benchmark. It shows that AMD’s new unit consumes 130 watts of power compared to the Intel processor’s around 300 watts, providing identical multi-threaded performance. Let’s hope that the improved controllers in the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000 series also translate to faster RAM training and more stable operation.
