In addition to DDR4, Intel’s next-generation Raptor Lake processors will support slightly faster DDR5 memory compared to its predecessor. Where current 12000 CPUs can officially handle DDR5-4800, a MiTAC motherboard’s product page indicates that thirteenth-generation Core chips offer native support for DDR5-5200.
Specifically, it concerns the PH12ADI, an itx board that combines the lga1700 socket with an H610/Q670 chipset and two multi-dimm slots. In case of Alder Lake processor, modules of at least 4,800 MT/s are supported, while Raptor Lake-S can handle a minimum of 5,200 MT/s. Thus, the natively compatible speed is increased by 8.3 percent.
While Team Blue seems to be keeping an eye on the standard speeds of memory, AMD has plans in the overclocking space. For example, Joseph Tao, AMD’s Memory Activation Manager, hinted in April that the Ryzen 7000 series should deliver very high memory overclocks.
