The CXMT DDR5 memory chips appear to be mature enough to be pushed beyond 8000 MT/s easily.
Colorful Pushes CXMT-Based iGame Shadow II DDR5 Memory Kit to 8600 MT/s on iGame X870E Vulcan Motherboard
In the past few days, a few memory and motherboard makers have tried to push DDR5 memory kits using the CXMT memory chips beyond what they would usually operate at. Previously, CXMT-based DDR5 memory kits would often max out at 6000 MT/s, and this cap was recently removed, beginning with MSI, which unlocked up to an 8200 MT/s speed on a B850 chipset motherboard, thanks to the new BIOS.
ASUS was next to be able to push to a good 8400 MT/s on its 800-series platform with the latest BIOS that was released globally. Lexar is also one of the first memory makers to officially announce DDR5 memory kits clocked at 7600 MT/s using CXMT memory chips and has successfully achieved the clock speed at CL38.
Colorful is next in the queue, revealing the best-ever memory speed on the AMD 800-series platform. Colorful uses the CXMT 2 GB DDR5 dies in its iGame Shadow II memory and has demonstrated a whopping 8600 MT/s on its iGame X870E Vulcan motherboard using the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D chip.
In the screenshot, we can see the DRAM frequency being pushed to 4299.9 MHz, which is equivalent to 8600 MT/s, and is the current record for CXMT-based DDR5 memory kits. It was achieved on a 2x 16 GB memory configuration that passed the RunMemTestPro memory test with flying colors and delivered stable performance.
Colorful was able to achieve this speed at CL46, which is a decently tight timing for a DDR5-8600 MT/s kit, particularly when we talk about CXMT memory chips. I think we will soon hit 9000 MT/s on CXMT-based modules, which will be a huge success for the company.
