ASUS Introduces Upgraded AEMP III For Intel 800-Series Motherboards With 64GB DDR5 Module Support
ASUS has announced an enhanced version of its AEMP III (ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III), enabling support for up to 64GB CUDIMM DDR5 modules, allowing a total memory capacity of 256GB (4x DIMMs) on Intel 800-series motherboards such as the Z890 and B860. This marks a significant leap in memory support for mainstream desktop PCs, offering improved capacity and speed for high-performance workloads.
Breaking Barriers in Memory Capacity and Speed
While DDR5 technology has seen impressive advancements in frequency, with overclocked modules surpassing 10,000 MT/s, achieving higher frequencies with multiple DIMMs has been a challenge. The upgraded AEMP III from ASUS addresses this limitation by increasing the supported memory frequency for 4x DIMMs to 5600 MT/s, a notable improvement from the previous 4400 MT/s cap.
This feature was demonstrated using:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme
Processor: Intel Core Ultra Series 2
Memory: Kingston 4x 64GB CUDIMM DDR5 modules at 5600 MT/s
By leveraging AEMP III, ASUS claims a performance uplift of up to 27% compared to 4400 MT/s kits. Though specific benchmarks were not disclosed, this improvement is expected to deliver noticeable gains in select applications and gaming scenarios.
Exclusive to Kingston CUDIMM DDR5 Modules (For Now)
Currently, this enhanced feature is exclusive to Kingston's 64GB CUDIMM DDR5 modules. Once installed on compatible ASUS motherboards, the AEMP III option will automatically appear in the AI Overclock Tuner section of the BIOS. This simplifies the process for users seeking to push their system's memory capacity and performance to new heights.
Workstation-Like Performance for Mainstream PCs
Thanks to the presence of a clock driver in CUDIMMs, the upgraded AEMP III provides better memory stability, even with 4x DIMM configurations. This positions Intel-based desktops with ASUS 800-series motherboards as compelling options for users requiring high-capacity memory setups for demanding workloads.
