A Bilibili social media user shared a blurry screenshot showing a system running 64 GB of DDR5-6400 RAM.So far so ordinary, but the screenshot is of his MSI resident overclocker and he appears to be from the HWBot heavyweight account top PC (opens in new tab)And Twitter users HXL (opens in new tab) The screen grab is particularly newsworthy as it’s from an AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 (Raphael) PC system, but it’s blurry.
The screenshot is from a system allegedly equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture. The screen section displaying the CPU-Z app is[メモリ]opened in a tab. Fittingly, Toppc uses MSI’s dragon-skinned version of the sysinfo and monitoring app.
The memory specs shown here aren’t spectacular, but if the images are real and come from an AMD Ryzen 7000 system, this is a first and a milestone for Raphael Leakland. The system being exposed has 64GB of DDR5 installed, which is shown to be DDR5-6400 with CL32 latency. More precisely, the memory operates at a double data rate of 3,202.7 MHz and has CL-32-38-38-96-134 timing.
This blurry tease doesn’t reveal anything about the manufacturer of the motherboard, CPU, or memory, so we can’t confirm what hardware the MSI-resident overclocker is using. There is a small nugget to confirm. The Bank Cycle Time (tRC) parameter field in CPU-Z’s Memory tab (see image above) is replaced by Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) in the same tool on Intel-based systems. So, we are confirming that AMD systems with DDR5 have been tested.
We last updated our roundup of visionary AMD Ryzen 7000 technologies just three days ago. As far as we know, Raphael is going to be his DDR5 only, but his biggest nemesis, his Raptor Lake, will continue to use platforms with either DDR4 or DDR5 memory. However, as mentioned in the intro, speed is not the highlight of the news, as AMD has previously said it reached DDR4-6400 in testing. Thanks to the technology, we have revealed that it offers excellent memory overclocking with capable hardware.
The latest leaked benchmarks have shown that the upcoming Ryzen 5 7600X could outperform the Core i9 12900K in single-core tests by over 20%. Additionally, AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs and 600-series chipsets are expected this fall.
