Crucial broadens gaming product lineup and supports AI PCs with enhanced memory modules Alongside its fresh storage products, Crucial is considerably augmenting its consumer memory offerings with these developments:
Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking (OC) Gaming Memory: Crucial has introduced a new 32GB density variant for its Crucial DDR5 Pro OC Gaming Memory. These advancements closely follow Crucial’s initial February launch of the gaming memory at 6000 megatransfers per second (MT/s), followed by its October introduction of 6400 MT/s – both in 16GB densities. With the 32GB option accessible across both speed grades, passionate gamers and DIY enthusiasts can experience swifter, smoother gameplay and multitasking without concerns about bottlenecks, sluggish frame rates, and prolonged load times.
Crucial DDR5 Pro Plug-and-Play Memory: For gamers, creatives, and professionals who require DDR5 performance immediately, Crucial DDR5 Pro Plug-and-Play Memory effectively enhances system performance without the hassle of overclocking, latency adjustment, die chasing, or LED configurations. Filling a niche in the market, Crucial now offers this solution in a 64GB density at a speed of 5,600 MT/s, making it the first DDR5 64GB module globally to feature a heat spreader. Users needing increased density will have the choice to acquire the solution as a 128GB kit comprising two 64GB modules. By providing these higher capacities, Crucial allows consumers to future-proof their systems for increasingly data-heavy games and applications, facilitating superior multitasking and management of larger files, such as those required for 3D modeling, graphic design, 4K and 8K content creation, real-time rendering, and beyond — all without the anxiety of system slowdowns or crashes.
Crucial DDR5 CUDIMM/CSODIMM: Building on the 16 GB DDR5 unbuffered dual inline memory modules (CUDIMM) and clocked small outline dual memory modules (CSODIMM) released in October, Crucial is now presenting CUDIMM solutions in 32 and 64GB densities and CSODIMM solutions in 24 and 32GB densities at 6400 MT/s. With these additions, Crucial now possesses the widest array of JEDEC-compliant CUDIMM and CSODIMMs in the marketplace, facilitating greater acceptance of the new CUDIMM and CSODIMM form factors with broader capacity options to better support data-hungry AI PCs.
Crucial DDR5 UDIMM/SODIMM: Crucial is now offering its Crucial Classic DDR5 Memory in a 64GB density at the 5600 MT/s speed grade, spanning both UDIMM and SODIMM form factors. Crucial® DDR5 Memory has the intense speed and extensive bandwidth necessary for the upcoming generation of multi-core CPUs, empowering users to multitask more effectively, load, analyze, edit, and render quicker, play with elevated frame rates, and significantly decrease system lag during demanding workloads compared to previous generations.
MRDIMM: Crucial is currently supplying multiplexed rank dual inline memory module (MRDIMMs) through distribution channels to consumers. Micron’s MRDIMM solutions provide the essential bandwidth and capacity at reduced latency to scale AI inference and high-performance computing applications on next-generation server platforms.
