Performance and where it ranks

Two different questions, side by side. Performance compares what the hardware can do; Value compares what that capability costs at today’s price. A product can rank high on one and low on the other — that gap is the point.

What to check in your build

Memory generation Required

DDR5

The board must take DDR5 — DDR generations are not interchangeable

Find compatible motherboards

Module form factor Required

288-pin DIMM

Desktop boards take full-size DIMMs; laptops and mini PCs take SO-DIMMs.

Slots needed Required

4 free slots

A kit is tested as a set; filling fewer slots than modules is not possible.

XMP / EXPO profile Required

XMP/EXPO support for 6000 MT/s

6000 MT/s is a profile speed — the board and CPU memory controller have to support it, and it is off until you enable it in BIOS
