Introduction
Founded in 1985, PNY Technologies has a wide portfolio of products. Manufacturing computer peripherals and components is the company’s main revenue stream consisting of products like NVIDIA GeForce and Quadro Graphics Cards, USB Flash Storage, all the way to System Memory. PNY continues to refresh existing product lines as new technologies come to market each year.
PNY is no stranger to making system memory, with products reaching far back to beyond even SDRAM. The company didn’t push into the “performance” and “gaming” memory market until DDR2 debuted, with its signature XLR8 series. While DDR2 is no longer in production, XLR8 has lived on in each generation since.
In this review, we will be taking a closer look at the PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 32 GB (2x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 memory kit, marketed towards gamers and PC enthusiasts. The XLR8 series has many variations of both capacities and primary timings for the included XMP / EXPO memory profiles, making it harder to distinguish between all the different SKUs for sale. This particular sample is geared towards gamers, with dual 6400 MT/s CL32 profiles optimized for both Intel and AMD systems. Now, with the introduction out of the way, let us see how this memory kit stacks up against the competition, beginning with a look at the specifications.
