TeamGroup has announced new high-frequency specifications for its Elite Plus DDR5 and Elite DDR5 desktop memory modules. Both series now offer speeds up to 8000MT/s. 

The Elite Plus DDR5 and Elite DDR5 8000MT/s modules utilise an optimised IC architecture and DDR5 Same-Bank Refresh technology to maintain system efficiency under heavy computational loads. The 1.1V operating voltage is intended to lower overall power draw compared to higher-voltage overclocked kits.

Initial availability will consist of 16GB x 2 kits. Timings are relatively loose, set at CL56-56-56-128. The products are expected to be available starting next month.

KitGuru says: The low voltage and high speeds are rather good, but the loose timings might not be the best match for some processors. 

XPG has announced the launch of its Novakey RGB DDR5 memory series, featuring a patented “Infinity Mirror” heat sink design. The new flagship modules offer speeds up to 6400MT/s and capacities up to 32GB per module.

Aimed at mainstream gamers and creative professionals, the Novakey RGB DDR5 modules use optical reflection principles on the heat sink to create a 3D visual depth effect. The exterior construction features matte-black metal accents and a brushed-aluminium finish. The RGB is configurable and compatible with most major motherboard lighting systems, including those of Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, and MSI.

XPG states the series is optimised for the 6400MT/s “sweet spot” but will also be available in 5600MT/s and 6000MT/s. Available in 16GB and 32GB capacities, the memory series can be purchased in both single- and dual-kit configurations. Technical specifications include latencies as low as CL30. The modules are built on a 10-layer PCB and include an integrated Power Management IC (PMIC) alongside on-die ECC for data integrity. XPG confirms support for both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD Expo to facilitate one-click performance optimisation.

The Novakey series incorporates sustainable materials, with the heat sinks manufactured using 50% recycled aluminium and 85% post-consumer recycled plastic. XPG backs the series with a limited lifetime warranty.

Lenovo urges its partners to place the orders as quickly as possible if they don't want to order at higher prices in the next month. Lenovo NA Chief Wade McFarland Warns Against Price Hike in March; Recommends Placing Orders for its Partners by February 25 More vendors are now announcing price hikes for their products. Lenovo, which is the largest PC OEM is also about to revise its pricing very soon, and it looks like the new pricing strategy will also be affected by the timeline. Unlike how one would assume, the price hikes may not just affect the orders […]
