AMD says new EXPO ‘Ultra Low Latency’ DDR5 memory should be 'effectively the same price' as current kits — feature will work on existing chipsets, but will require new DIMMs

AMD has introduced EXPO Ultra Low Latency DDR5 memory, boasting a 13% uplift over JEDEC standards and a 4% improvement over standard EXPO. The new feature, developed in collaboration with memory partners, enhances sub timings for lower latency. While compatible with existing chipsets, it will require new DIMMs. AMD's David McAfee suggests updating BIOS for compatibility. Despite current inflated memory prices, AMD aims to offer EXPO ULL kits at similar price points to current kits. The feature is expected to deliver improved performance in gaming scenarios, with partners like G.Skill and Kingston already on board to support it.
