MSI Optimizes Changxin DDR5 Memory for AMD Platforms, Reaching 8000 MT/s
MSI has announced that it has successfully adapted Changxin Storage's DDR5 memory modules for AMD platforms, enabling stable operation at frequencies of 8000-8200 MT/s.
Motherboard manufacturer MSI has announced it has completed in-depth adaptation and tuning of Changxin Storage's DDR5 memory modules for AMD platforms. This achievement allows for stable operation at frequencies between 8000 and 8200 MT/s, making MSI the first motherboard brand to publicly verify this and offer a beta BIOS for testing.
Previously, DDR5 memory using Changxin modules faced frequency bottlenecks on AMD platforms, generally capping at around DDR5-6800, hindering the platform's full performance potential.
MSI's technical team undertook specific optimizations based on the latest AGESA microcode. Tests confirmed that on motherboards with dual memory slots, modules with Changxin's 16Gbit chips could stably reach DDR5-8000, while those with 24Gbit chips reached DDR5-8200. Both configurations passed comprehensive stress tests exceeding 100% coverage. For mainstream motherboards with four memory slots, the frequency limit was raised to DDR5-7200.
MSI emphasized that these validations were performed using standard memory products available on the market from brands like GoldenMemory and Lexar. This means users can benefit from the optimization without needing to select memory modules with superior physical characteristics.
The optimization is now available via MSI's "Player" BIOS version, integrating Changxin DDR5 overclocking features based on the official release. This version is directly distributed to the community for prompt feedback and iteration.
