Along with revealing its next generation of processors, AMD announced the new EXPO(Extended Profiles for Overclocking)standard for DDR5 memory. Upcoming Ryzen 7000 CPUs support DDR5 exclusively, and tracking down a kit with an EXPO certification could make a big difference in how well your PC runs.
AMD EXPO™ Technology was developed to allow for user-friendly memory overclocking support of all types of memory, giving users an easy path to accelerated power to achieve accelerated memory in their system.
AMD EXPO is new with the AM5 platform and replaces earlier AMD-servicing alternatives to XMP used on Ryzen motherboards. Those previous memory-clocking solutions, such as DOCP and EOCP, were implemented by individual motherboard makers in the absence of an established standard.
"EXPO." Get in the game faster with AMD EXPO™
AMD EXPO technology was designed to achieve higher gaming performance from pre-configured overclocking profiles and is easy to implement. PC enthusiasts who want to understand the finer details of an AMD EXPO technology-enabled module can find public self-certification reports, which clearly lay out the module’s full timing table, components, and the system configuration used to finalize the memory’s specifications. AMD is offering EXPO technology to its industry memory partners without royalties or licensing fees.
AMD EXPO technology arrives to market alongside the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors, with offerings from ADATA, Corsair, GeIL, G.SKILL, and Kingston. Over 15 AMD EXPO technology-enabled memory kits will be initially available, with memory speeds up to DDR5-6400.
