Amd updates ddr4 memory compatibility list with ryzen

AMD today released an updated compatibility list of DDR4 memory kits for Ryzen range processors. Although virtually any DDR4 memory kit has support to run on motherboards with AM4 socket, some specific models have been tested by AMD and have the ability to run reliably at DDR4-3200, DDR4-2933, DDR4-2667 and DDR4 speeds. -2400.

AMD Adds New DDR4 Memory Kits to Recommended and Compatible Memory List for Ryzen Processors

AMD's new compatibility list now contains a larger selection of DDR4 memory modules that were tested by AMD and work great with Ryzen processors.

To take full advantage of these modules, AMD asks users to try to install BIOS updates that contain the AGESA 1.0.0.6 microcode package. This should be clearly shown in the log of BIOS updates from motherboard manufacturers. However, if you buy a new motherboard, it probably already comes with the AGESA 1.0.0.6 package pre-installed at the factory.

The entire list of compatibility of DDR4 memory kits with AMD Ryzen processors can be checked at this link.

The speed of DDR4 memories has a considerable impact on the performance of computers with AMD Ryzen processors, beyond the bandwidth that these memories have. The clock rate at which the processor's InfinityFabric system operates is proportional to the frequency of the DRAM memory. This interconnection links the two quad-core complexes (CCX) in the 14nm "Summit Ridge" silicon on which Ryzen processors with AM4 socket are based.

Among the main innovations in AMD's updated memory compatibility list are some brands that are not necessarily based on Samsung's DRAM chips.
