Speed and Capacity – Corsair reveals DDR5-7000 48GB memory kits
Corsair’s new high-speed 48GB DDR5 memory kits are great news for performance-oriented creatorsÂ
For DDR5, 2x16GB memory kits are the sweet spot when it comes to pricing, performance, and capacity. Most of us do not need more than 32GB of DDR5 memory, enthusiasts can buy 16GB DRAM modules with high frequencies and tight CL timings. If you need more memory than that, you typically need to invest in lower speed modules.Â
The good news today is that Corsair is changing that assumption by launching 48GB (2x24GB) DDR5-7000 memory kits for Intel’s 13th Generation processors. With 7000MT/s speeds and CL40-52-52-114 timings, Corsair’s new high speed 24GB Vengeance memory modules offer users an excellent balance between capacity and performance, and their $275/$285 pricing for their RGB and non-RGB modules are reasonable for a high capacity DDR5 memory kit.
Corsair has partnered with ASUS to ensure that their motherboards are ready to deliver optimal performance with these high speed DDR5 memory modules on day-1, though these DRAM modules will work with all Intel 700 series motherboards. Below is what Corsair has to say about their new DDR5-7000 modules and their work with ASUS.
   CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced new high-speed 7000MT/s 48 GB (2x 24 GB) VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 memory kits, as well as the general availability of its massive 192 GB (4x 48 GB) DDR5-5200 kits. CORSAIR has worked closely with motherboard manufacturer ASUS to ensure that these new kits work flawlessly across its full range of 700 series motherboards, making them an ideal high-speed companion for the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors.
These new memory kits are compatible with all Intel 700 series motherboards, but the close working relationship between ASUS and CORSAIR demonstrates both company’s commitment to delivering optimal performance and compatibility for customers. Rigorous testing of these new VENGEANCE DDR5 memory kits ensures they work across the full range of ASUS motherboards, including at the new higher DDR5-7000 speeds.
While gamers have no need for 48GB of memory to play today’s titles, additional DRAM is always a welcome sight for content creators and those who use their PCs as a workstation. With DDR5-7000 speeds and 24GB module capacities, Corsair’s newest Vengeance DIMMs give users high-end performance and high-end capacities at a reasonable price.
