Introduction

Founded in 2001, ADATA is one of the largest manufacturers of flash memory and DRAM in the world and has steadily grown into what it is today: a leader in the industry. From enterprise to consumers, ADATA has multiple product lines to fit different markets, with the XPG subdivision targeting PC enthusiasts and branded as such.

XPG offers multiple DDR5 products with the current three main consumer system memory lines being Caster, Lancer, and Hunter. XPG Hunter fulfills the basic user needs, while the Lancer memory aims to target a wide market offering both non-RGB and RGB SKUs, pre-binned and sold in various configurations from 5200 MT/s to 6400 MT/s. Lastly is the XPG Caster performance and PC enthusiast oriented system memory with the lowest frequency kit offered for sale as this is written starting at a blistering 6400 MT/s.

DDR5 memory is still in the early adoption phase with Intel’s 12th Gen Core processors and accompanying LGA 1700 socket being the only supporters of this technology. In related tech news, AMD announced the company’s next-generation Ryzen CPUs and AM5 socket during Computex 2022. Due out in Q3 2022, AMD will also bring with it DDR5 support. For now, DDR5 is still exclusive to Intel, and with that comes the question if DDR5 is worth transitioning to. For the casual user, leaving behind DDR4 isn’t always beneficial. For those who want an in-depth look into the trade-offs between the two, TechPowerUp already has an article with an in-depth comparison of DDR4 and DDR5 performance on Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs.

In this review, we will be taking a closer look at the XPG Caster RGB DDR5-6400 kit. Using modest timings of 40-40-40-76 at 1.4 V for the 6400 MT/s X.M.P profile, it brings higher bandwidth than the baseline JEDEC 4800 MT/s. Marketed towards gamers and PC enthusiast alike, let us now see how this XPG Caster RGB DDR5 32 GB kit stacks up against the stiff competition!
