ADATA XPG has a memory kit for everyone with its LANCER range
Clean Aesthetic, Fast Speeds – ADATA’s XPG LANCER series is made for the DDR5 era
The PC market is now firmly in the DDR5 era. The time for DDR4 memory has passed, and all modern CPUs have transitioned over to DDR5. With the transition to DDR5, ADATA has expanded its presence in the PC memory market, with its XPG Lancer series becoming a popular choice amongst PC builders. Today, we will be looking at some of the options available and the perks of each Lancer series model.
XPG Lancer Series
Let’s start with ADATA’s basic XPG LANCER series modules. Ok, “basic” might be the wrong term, but this is the LANCER series in its purest form. These modules are available in Black and white and all ship with overclocking-ready heatsinks.
RGB and non-RGB versions of ADATA’s LANCER series modules are available, with its non-RGB variants being limited to 16GB and 32GB module capacities and speeds of DDR5-6000 and DDR5-6400. These speed options deliver great price/performance levels, especially with AMD Ryzen systems.
If you opt for ADATA’s RGB-clad Lancer series modules, DDR5-7200 and DDR5-8000 speed options become available, and so do 48GB module options. Great news for those who demand faster data rates and more DRAM capacity.
Lancer Blade
For those seeking lower-profile DDR5 modules, ADATA’s LANCER Blade series is worth considering. With its non-RGB models, module heights are lowered to 33.8mm, with its RGB variants being slightly taller at 40mm.
The Blade series focuses on delivering compact performance. Modules are available with 5600 MT/s, 6000 MT/s and 6400 MT/s speeds. Both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP modules are also available. Per module capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 24GB, and 32GB are available.
We used some of ADATA’s LANCER Blade modules back in 2023, during the early days of DDR5. To put things simply, these modules worked well on every motherboard we have tried them on. ADATA’s Blade series modules are available in Black and White.

Lancer NEON
For those who need a little more flash, ADATA’s XPG LANCER NEON series takes RGB lighting to the next level with its custom heatsink. With 16GB per module capacities and speed options of DDR5-6000, DDR5-7200, and DDR5-8000, these modules are great options for gamers and those who seek a high-performance memory experience.
ADATA claims that these newer LANCER modules feature an “exclusive heat dissipating coating” that reduces memory thermals by 10%. A neat feature that will help keep DRAM thermals under control. Like other ADATA XPG RGB memory modules, ADATA’s XPG Prime software can deliver some great lighting effects. These modules are also available with AMD EXPO and Intel XMP support.
XPG LANCER CUDIMM RGB
Lastly, we have XPG’s LANCER CUDIMM RGB series of DDR5 memory modules, which push memory speeds to the limit using CUDIMM technology. CUDIMM memory modules feature an internal clock driver (CKD) to increase their stability. This places less stress on your CPU’s memory controller, allowing higher memory speeds to be achieved on compatible hardware.
These LANCER CUDIMM modules are available with 16GB and 24GB per-DIMM capacities with DDR5-8400, DDR5-8800, and DDR5-9200 speed options. These memory kits are compatible with Intel’s Z890 chipset and Core Ultra 200 series CPUs. We expect future CPUs and motherboards from AMD to also support CUDIMM memory modules.
ADATA XPG System Upgrades Advisor
To ensure that their users purchase compatible memory modules, ADATA XPG has created a “System Upgrades Advisor” to help PC builders select the right hardware for their systems. Simply enter your motherboard or system information, and ADATA will provide a list of compatible SSDs and DRAM modules. You can have a look at ADATA’s System Upgrade Advisor here.
