The memory manufacturer Micron Technology, currently the fifth largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world, has now introduced new fast DDR5 memory with a speed of 6,000 MT/s through its end customer brand Crucial Technology, which is sold under the name “Crucial Pro Overclocking” and for that very reason causes a lot of question marks. The memory kit is quoted with a CAS latency of 36 clock cycles using CL36-38-38-80 at 1.35 volts.
Source: Crucial Both the JEDEC standards and the four memory profiles with Intel under no circumstances as “Pro Overclocking”. The same applies to the latency, which at 12.67 ns is at best a conservative average. Because Crucial usually uses memory components (“ICs”) from the parent company Micron, which were known in the past for high OC potential, the very offensive naming could possibly come from this.
Source: Crucial Since Crucial does not provide any information about the memory ICs installed, we can only speculate. However, statements from the manufacturer such as “Overclocking Unlocked” definitely indicate that it is particularly suitable for overclocking. Initial reviews will certainly provide information about this in a timely manner, as the 32 GiByte memory kit will be available from February 27th. Another kit with two memory modules, each with 24 GiBytes, will follow later, Crucial says on its website.
