AMD Platform Memory Performance Test

Firstly, we will use AMD Ryzen 7000 platform which supports DDR5 memory to see how this set of memory performs on AMD platform. We will use AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor and MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard to test the XPG LANCER BLADE RGB DDR5 6000 MT/s 24GBx2 memory, and the motherboard BIOS will be updated to 7D69v1D5 (Beta version) to test it. The motherboard BIOS was updated to version 7D69v1D5 (Beta version) for testing.

Testing Platform
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (PBO AUTO)
Cooler: AMD Wraith Prism
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E ACE (BIOS version: 7D69v1D5 [Beta version])

Display Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC
Operating System: Windows 11 Professional 23H2
System Drive: Kingston A2000 NVMe PCIe SSD 500GB
Power Supply: FSP Hydro PTM PRO ATX3.0 (PCIe5.0) 1200W
Case: STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2
Graphics driver: GeForce Game Ready 551.23

 

In the BIOS of the MSI MEG X670E ACE motherboard, you can see that this set of memory has a built-in XMP Profile file, DDR5 6000 CL 30-40-40-76 1.35 V for Intel XMP and EXPO, for the sake of compatibility with the AMD platform for stable use, so the frequency will be set at the conservative DDR5 6000, which is the strategy adopted by most of the current memory brands. This is also the strategy adopted by most memory brands.

There is only one Profile parameter in the ∆SPD HUB for XMP and EXPO.

∆ JEDEC frequency is DDR5-4800.

With the EXPO Profile DDR5-6000 turned on, the read and write performance is 73,196 MB/s and 73,684 MB/s with 72.2 ns latency.

The author also manually overclocked to 8000 MT/s CL 42, and the read/write performance was 84975 MB/s and 87834 MB/s with 70.3 ns latency.

It is important to note that this X670E ACE was tested on the STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2 barebones platform, and there is no additional fan in the memory to assist with cooling, but most users will have an exhaust fan installed above the chassis to dissipate the heat, so this is just a reference for temperature testing.

Intel Platform Memory Performance Test

Next, we tested the XPG LANCER BLADE RGB DDR5 6000 MT/s 24GB x2 memory using an Intel Core i9-13900K test platform that supports DDR5 memory and XMP 3.0, with an MSI MEG Z690I UNIFY on the motherboard and the BIOS updated to version 7D29v1G.

The author also manually overclocked to a maximum of DDR5 8000 MT/s, but I don't know why the 8000+ frequency just can't pass the self-test of the motherboard, so I'll leave it to the gamers to figure out the higher frequency.

Conclusion

The XPG LANCER BLADE RGB DDR5 6000 MT/s 24GB x2 memory in this hands-on unboxing is compatible with the one-click overclocking features of both Intel and AMD DDR5 platforms, namely Intel XMP 3.0 (Extreme Memory Profile) and AMD EXPO (EXtended Profiles for Overclocking). EXtended Profiles for Overclocking).

Both platforms can use their own dedicated overclocking function to easily achieve one-click overclocking to DDR5 6000 MT/s. However, in order to provide better compatibility between the two platforms, it seems that XPG is only offering up to 6400 MT/s on this series, and most of the memory brands' models that are compatible with both XMP and EXPO will be locked below 6600 MT/s, which is the current mainstream operation in the market (for stable booting). This is also the mainstream operation in the current market (for stable booting).

This unboxing is only because LANCER BLADE RGB DDR5 has added a new non-binary capacity, that is to say, the series is currently available in 16 GB / 24 GB / 32 GB capacities, but will there be a 48 GB capacity added in the future so that consumers can use up to 192 GB on 4DIMM motherboards? That's where XPG comes in.

The latency of this set of memory is 77.3 ns and 72.2 ns after turning on the DDR5 Profile parameter on both Intel and AMD platforms, which may not be a big difference for most users, but a small group of overclockers may think the latency is too high, but the latency can be lowered by manually overclocking to a higher frequency, so you can manually overclock the memory to get better latency performance. Therefore, if you want to get better delay performance, you may want to overclock manually.
