XPG to Launch New DDR5 Gaming Memory Modules in Third Quarter of 2021 | TechPowerUp
 
XPG, a fast-growing provider of systems, components, and peripherals for Gamers, Esports Pros, and Tech Enthusiasts, today announces that it will launch its new DDR5 gaming memory modules in Q3 2021. The new product series will be known as the CASTER series. The modules will deliver frequencies ranging from 6000 to 7400 MHz and come with capacities of 8, 16, or 32 GB. XPG has been working closely with its motherboard partners, including GIGABYTE, MSI, ASUS, and ASRock, to ensure the highest level of compatibility and ability to realize extreme overclocking performance.

The new DDR5 modules will come in two variants, with and without RGB. Despite this difference, they share a cohesive industrial design. The products' designs convey an understated sense of depth and textural contrast with the use of two surface treatments, one glossy and one matte. For added depth, the matte surface of the modules are bevelled for an additional textural element and futuristic look. To communicate the XPG brand, the modules sport diagonal intersecting lines and grooves that form geometric forms and X shapes that play off the XPG brand name and visual identity.
 
XPG's new DDR5 modules are set to give gamers and PC enthusiasts a noticeable improvement over DDR4 modules. In addition to higher frequencies of above 4800 MHz, the modules will also be more energy efficient, operating at 1.1 V compared to 1.2 V. What is more, the modules will come built with a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) and Error Correcting Code (ECC) technology for enhanced efficiency and stability.
 
What I am interested in is the pricing for these DDR5 modules and also what sizes will be available for each DIMM.

    I'm terrified to see how much these DDR5 modules cost. I'm guessing we're looking at least $250 for a 32GB kit.

    "The modules will deliver frequencies ranging from 6000 to 7400 MHz" WHOA! I really hope that their heatsink can keep up... that must be some really high voltage there!
