AMD EXPO ULL Memory Offers Minor Gains Amidst High Prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Initial benchmarks for AMD's new EXPO Ultra Low Latency (ULL) memory kits reveal performance gains of up to 4%, which some reviewers suggest do not justify the significant price increase. While ULL memory offers minor improvements in specific games like F1 25 and Cyberpunk 2077, and a notable boost in write throughput, its benefits are often marginal and can potentially be achieved through manual tuning of standard DDR5 RAM. The high cost of these ULL kits is particularly problematic given the current inflated prices of RAM due to shortages. AI
