Today, PNY announced its XLR8 Gaming DDR5 4800 MHz desktop memory. DDR5 signifies the next major leap in PC memory advancement with its low voltage requirements and increased JEDEC standard speeds. As with all DDR5 memory kits, these include an on-module PMIC (Power Management IC) reducing the load from the motherboards voltage regulators. Availability is expected around the fourth quarter of 2021 but there is still no word on pricing. Here is PNY’s official press release.
PNY Performance DDR5 4800MHz Desktop Memory
Delivering the Next Generation in Performance
Parsippany, New Jersey, August 17, 2021 – PNY announced today the latest addition to their extensive lineup of PC memory for computer upgrades as well as for enthusiasts and gamers; Performance DDR5 4800MHz Desktop Memory. Designed for next generation systems supporting the new memory standard, DDR5 will allow for higher-density modules and faster frequency speeds as compared to previous generation technologies.

Next Generation Technology
PNY Performance DDR5 is designed to support the growing lineup of motherboards compatible with the new DDR5 memory standard. This advanced technology supports many new and exciting features that were limited or not supported in previous generations of PC memory. DDR5 supports higher density modules, up to four-times higher per module, and faster frequency speeds as standard. Compared to DDR4, which has a limited JEDEC standard speed of 3200 megahertz, DDR5 starts at 4800MHz. The PNY Performance memory will also start at 16GB per module and feature the JEDEC standard frequency of 4800 megahertz.
Loaded with Features
The DDR5 modules will operate at ultra-low 1.1 volts and feature on-die ECC support which increases efficiency. Existing DDR4 memory relies on the motherboard to handle voltage conversion, but DDR5 supports on-module conversion, resulting in lower voltage wear and less noise generation. Thanks to the on-module PMIC (Power Management IC), DDR5 also has higher amounts of headroom for overclocking support and voltage adjustments.
Growing Support
With the Intel Alder Lake CPU launching late 2021, Intel’s CPUs will be the first to support the DDR5 standard, but with growing support from other CPU manufactures, DDR5 will likely overtake DDR4 in popularity by 2023. Statement from the Product Development Team “We’re excited to add cutting-edge DDR5 technology to our product portfolio. While we are launching our first DDR5 models in the Performance line, we will also be supporting gamers, content creators, and enthusiasts in their on-going quest for PC performance, by launching models under our XLR8 Gaming brand. These models will feature higher frequency speeds and will include models with aggressive out-of-the-box overclocking, stylish heat spreaders and RGB illumination.”
Product Availability
PNY XLR8 Gaming DDR5 4800MHz Desktop Memory will be available for compatibility testing with various motherboard manufacturers in the third quarter of 2021, and the company expects the modules to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2021, with availability at Amazon, Best Buy.com, and www.pny.com.
“The DRAM industry is on the verge of an important transition from today’s DDR4 to the higher performance DDR5 interface,” said Jim Handy, memory industry analyst at Objective Analysis. “Through this announcement PNY is clearly showing that it wants to be in the lead during this transition.”

We’re back with another high speed G.Skill RAM kit review. This one is rated DDR3-2600 at a relatively tight CAS latency of 10 (full timings 10-12-12-31) and standard 1.65 V rating and model # F3-2600C10D-8GTXD. Can it overclock as well as their DDR3-2666 kit? Well, that’s what we’re here to find out.
G.Skill has just announce their latest addition to their already impressive line of DDR4 Memory. The Ripjaws V series now boasts a 128GB (16GBx8) memory kit designed for the x99 platform.
