Supports Intel Core i9-13900K DDR5 7600MHz processor

Core memory is one of the areas where there is still a lot of room for overclocking, with potential for malfunctions, for example, clock frequencies, timing and tension. For those who want to achieve additional performance without manually overclocking, the Intel website also offers an Extreme Memory Profile (XMP), which allows memory manufacturers to supply memories with predefined profiles that can be activated in the BIOS.

With Core 12000 “Alder Lake”, XMP has moved to version 3.0, something that remains with the upcoming Core 13000 “Raptor Lake”. The processor family is compatible with both DDR4 and DDR5, with the latter officially set at 5600MHz. It now appears from the updated XMP profiles on the Intel website That it will be possible to pair the flagship with core memories of up to 7600MHz.

In the list of updated profiles, the Core i9-13900K is seen along with the Asus Z790 ROG Maximus Hero and Apex motherboards, accompanied by G.Skill DDR5 memory at 7466 and 7600MHz, respectively. This is with 1.4V voltage and CL36-48-48-119 and CL36-48-48-121 inch timing.

It’s worth noting that some of the base memories with corresponding specs haven’t been released yet, but talk about what’s to come. Intel also hinted at faster speeds when manually overclocked, up to 10,000MHz (MT/s). However, it is likely to be difficult to access for most users and is something that requires more extreme measures.
