FURY Impact DDR5-6400 is designed with Intel XMP 3.0 technology. Simply enable the XMP option of the computer platform to improve performance.
The last time we introduced FURY Impact SODIMM modules, it coincided with the early introduction and application of DDR5 SODIMM. Kingston launched DDR5-4800, multiple capacity single modules and 2-pack product options. As time goes by, DDR5-5600/ 6000/… etc. versions.
FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM Design Configuration
By chance, we borrowed FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM from Kingston. This is also the highest clock version currently. Its design to achieve the indicated clock is slightly different. DDR5-6400 / 6000 purely relies on Intel XMP 3.0 and does not include Plug. N Play Plug and Play configuration.
What remains unchanged is cross-platform compatibility. Although this series has not yet included support for AMD EXPO, in addition to Intel, it can also be used on AMD processor devices. Currently, the only purchase options open are a single module 16GB and a 16GB x 2 kit. , less selective than DDR5-5600/4800 versions.
The material number of the actual sample is KF564S38IBK2-32, which belongs to the 16GB x 2 kit version. It can be clearly seen that it uses SK hynix memory particles, and the number is H5CG48AGBD X018. The outline is A-Die, 16Gbit (2GB) capacity, and constitutes a 16GB single module purchase order. board, x8 bit width, 1 / Single Rank configuration.
Its SPD preload configuration is as follows. Although DDR5-5600 uses Intel XMP 3.0, it still uses the standard 1.1V voltage driver due to the fact that A-Die granularity is generally well received, while XMP DDR5-6400 / 6000 will add Pressed to 1.35V, the timing settings remain similar or even lower, which is also one of the product’s selling points.
- Default (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @ 1.1V
- XMP Profile #3：DDR5-5600 CL40-40-40 @ 1.1V
- XMP Profile #2：DDR5-6000 CL38-38-38 @ 1.35V
- XMP Profile #1：DDR5-6400 CL38-40-40 @ 1.35V
FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM actual test experience
The performance measurement experience is based on Intel NUC 13 Extreme, which uses Core i9-13900K processor and Z690 chipset. I mentioned at the beginning that I borrowed FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM by chance because it was confirmed that the design specifications of this NUC support the XMP function. We are curious about whether we can go straight to DDR5-6400 and would like to take the opportunity to try it.
After installing FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM, boot up the advanced UEFI BIOS. Click on the memory option to see the 3 XMP configurations. Try to apply DDR5-6400. Reboot and confirm that it works. Enter the operating system to view the operation timing group. The status is also correct, unlike using a laptop that may be subject to more restrictions (for example, the UEFI BIOS function options are too simplified).
The following picture on the left is DDR5-4800 and the picture on the right is XMP DDR5-5600
The following picture on the left is XMP DDR5-6000, and the picture on the right is XMP DDR5-6400
The test results are summarized as follows. Since the Core i9-13900K memory controller natively supports DDR5-5600, focusing on XMP DDR5-5600 vs. XMP DDR5-6400, the theoretical throughput of XMP DDR5-6400 can be increased by 11 .x~15.x%, and the delay is also reduced by about 12%.
As for several representative tests, the 800MT/s transmission rate difference between XMP DDR5-5600 vs. For each computing-oriented part of the processor, comprehensive benefits can also be seen in system comprehensive performance testing and evaluation software such as CrossMark.
testing platform
- Intel NUC 13 Extreme Kit（NUC13RNGi9 ）
- Graphics card: Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition
- Monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A
- Work system: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 64bit 23H2
The overclocking-oriented FURY Impact DDR5-6400 SODIMM has a market reference price of about 6,000 yuan. In addition to its good design and materials, it also has Kingston’s signature halo blessing. Whether you want to expand and upgrade your laptop or the same NUC 13 Extreme , it’s all worthy of being a priority purchase option.
