ADATA showcases first DDR5 memory for 14th generation Intel processors

While Computex 2023 continues at full speed, ADATA continues to exhibit its new products to the visitors. Among the stands of the company, a DDR5 memory kit attracted a lot of attention. Because ADATA states in the product description that the memory supports 14th generation Intel processors.

Reference to 14th Gen Core processors from ADATA

All DDR5 memory kits currently on the market will of course work with Intel’s next processor family, but we don’t yet know what kind of memory speed the upcoming series will support by default. In the specification brochure for ADATA’s 6400 CKD DIMM kits, we see references to the 14th Gen Core series. As stated by motherboard manufacturers at the Computex fair, Intel’s 14th Gen Core series will most likely appear as a Raptor Lake renewal. Therefore, as ADATA has shown, the next generation seems to focus mainly on CPU and memory speeds.

The first generation LGA1700 platform, codenamed “Alder Lake”, was released with DDR5-4800 memory support. Higher memory speeds could be achieved on compatible motherboards, but officially 4800 MT/s was the JEDEC standard supported by this generation. With the 13th Gen Core “Raptor Lake”, this speed has been increased to 5600 MT/s.

There are currently no leaks about any memory support for Raptor Lake Refresh, but ADATA indicates that 6400 CKD DIMM memories are supported by the 14th Gen with 1.1 voltages. Considering we’re looking at the next generation of ADATA’s most basic memory DIMM module, DDR5-6400 might be the new default speed.
