The DDR5 platform initially supported 8/16/32 GB memory modules, but later non-binary 24 GB and 48 GB memory were also supported.
Kingston recently released the first Renegade Fury memory sticks with 64GB of memory per module. For motherboards made with four DDR5 DIMM slots, this can mean up to 256 GB of memory instead of the previous 4×48 GB, i.e. 192 GB, configuration. In addition, if two DIMM modules are used, the memory capacity jumps from 96 GB to 128 GB.
Gigabyte has confirmed that the Intel 600/700 and AMD 600 series will support this new memory capacity. The company did not specify exactly for which motherboards the necessary BIOS update will be available, but it will certainly not be just one or two models.
The company demonstrated support for the memory in question on the Intel i9-14900K and Z790 AORUS Master X and Ryzen 9 7900X3D and B650 AORUS Elite AX ICE configurations. In both cases, memory with a speed of 6000 MT/s was used.
Previously, both MSI and ASRock confirmed that they had started developing updates to support 64GB modules, but neither company revealed the list of motherboards. We can expect a wider spread of 64 GB modules at the beginning of 2024, when several memory manufacturers will come up with their new products.
