Performance and specs
Delivering meaningful performance gains in memory-sensitive games like Watch Dogs:
Legion and Red Dead Redemption, Crucial DDR5 Pro OC 6400 CL32 offers average frame
rate improvements of up to 25%, for smoother gameplay.
While performance gains vary by title and hardware configuration, the most significant improvements are typically seen in games and applications that are memory-intensive.
(Testing was conducted using a hardware configuration featuring an AMD X870 chipset motherboard, and a Ryzen 9 9800X3D processor. Performance comparisons based on Crucial DDR5 5600 memory modules versus Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking 6400MT/s CL32 with AMD Expo enabled. Actual results may vary).
With speeds up to 6400MT/s, this memory delivers up to 37.5% lower latency than JEDECstandard DDR5, is optimized for next-gen multi-core CPUs and supports stable
overclocking with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD Expo (requires manual BIOS enablement).
It’s compatible with Intel® Core Ultra processors (Series 2) and AMD Ryzen 9000 Series
processors, ensuring seamless integration into modern gaming and creative setups.
Key features:
Faster than ever: Up to 6400MT/s speed and CL32 latency means quicker reactions
and smoother gameplay: More than 14% faster than standard 5600 DRAM.
Micron-powered performance: Backed by Micron’s trusted memory technology for
long-term reliability and energy efficiency.
Multitask like a pro: Perfect for gaming, livestreaming, 3D rendering and content
creation, making it ideal for custom builds or for anyone who uses data-intensive
applications like AI and machine learning.
With a camo-inspired pattern, available in stealth matte black or snow fox white, Crucial’s
refined heatspreader combines function with standout aesthetics. A diamond-cut Crucial
logo and bold “Crucial Pro” spine branding introduce a refined, tactical look.
Designed for durability, the new heatspreader delivers reliable cooling performance and a clean, modern finish that complements high-performance builds.
Crucial DDR5 Pro OC 6400 CL32 Gaming DRAM will be available starting October 21, through e-tailers, retailers and channel partners. Visit Crucial.com for more information on where to purchase.
