Lexar has announced its new ARES DDR5 memory kit, designed for optimal performance with AMD AM5 systems, particularly the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. This memory focuses on ultra-low latency, which can result in better gaming performance.
Optimized for AMD AM5
Gamers building AM5-based systems often face the choice between higher memory frequencies and optimal speeds within the 6000-6400 MT/s range, which are considered the sweet spot. Lexar's new DDR5-6000 CL26 memory aims to deliver a balance of speed and low latency, making it a perfect pairing for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Lexar claims that the CL26 latency will improve 1% framerates in games and provide an overall 10% improvement compared to CL30 memory. The company also claims this memory will achieve latencies below 55ns on a Ryzen 7 9800X3D system. The memory uses SK Hynix A-die modules, locked at 1.45V at 6000 MT/s. The initial kit comes with a capacity of 2x16GB, with no mention of 24GB or 32GB modules yet.
Pricing and Availability
The Lexar ARES DDR5-6000 CL26 memory is currently listed in China at 899 RMB, which is approximately $126 USD. It will be available in black and silver color schemes.
