Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM

Short for double data rate five, DDR5 is a type of system memory known as SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random-access memory). It was released on July 14, 2020, as the successor to DDR4. DDR5 introduced a new feature called DFE (Decision Feedback Equalization) which allows the speed of I/O (input/output) to be scaled, increasing memory bandwidth and improving general performance.

DDR5 has clock speeds that range from 2000 to 4000 MHz and range in storage capacity from 64 to 512 GB per DIMM (dual in-line memory module). DDR5 is also more efficient at 1.1 volts compared to DD4's 1.2 V consumption.

Note

These memory chips can only be installed on a motherboard that supports DDR5 memory and are not backward compatible with DDR4 memory slots.
