Exciting things are happening in the world of memory right now. Many of the headlines are being claimed by a new variety of DIMM, called Clock Unbuffered DIMM (CUDIMM). Featuring an integrated clock driver on the memory stick itself for improved reliability and stability, CUDIMM kits are already shattering speed records. But perhaps you’re more concerned with memory capacity than with raw speed. We have some good news for you. The trusted memory professionals at Kingston have cooked up a 64GB memory module that you’ll be able to purchase soon: the Kingston Value RAM DDR5 6400MT/s 64GB CUDIMM.
64GB of DDR5 RAM on a single stick opens intriguing new possibilities. A 128GB one-DIMM-per-channel (1DPC) configuration is rather tempting. We suspect that many enthusiasts will be tempted by the prospect of installing four of these modules, a move that puts a stunningly large 256GB (4x64GB) pool of memory at their disposal — without having to venture into quad-channel workstation hardware.
To make sure that you have a seamless experience running a system with four of these memory modules with your ASUS Z890 or B860 motherboard, our research and development team collaborated closely with Kingston. Typically, loading up all four memory slots on your motherboard in the quest for higher capacity requires operating at lower memory speeds. But through our work with Kingston, we’re not only able to ensure that our systems boot up and operate with an exceptional level of stability with the new 256GB kits — we also give you an easy pathway for boosting performance above the baseline, too.
When your system detects that you’ve installed four Kingston 64GB modules onto one of our 800 series motherboards, you’ll see an option in BIOS for ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III). This advanced firmware feature empowers you to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability.
Previously, AEMP III only supported 2-DIMM configurations, but now users can boost frequency and performance with this 4-DIMM configuration. In a test system with an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor, the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme, and four of the Kingston 64GB modules, we found stable performance at DDR5-5600 with the AEMP III profile enabled. That’s a 27% performance uplift over DDR5-4400, the baseline speed that users encounter when installing four DDR5 memory modules on an Intel motherboard.
With four of Kingston’s new 64GB DDR5 memory modules and an ASUS Z890 or B860 motherboard, you have a unique opportunity to bolster your system’s memory capacity to an astonishing level. After installing this memory kit onto your ASUS motherboard, don’t miss the opportunity to boost stability and performance alike with AEMP III.
