Like most game computers, yours will probably utilize chopped frame sticks. You may not think that it is so, but every time you turn on XMP or Expo, you do it. So fans of the latest Intel processors can be excited to find out that Asus has just announced that its 800 series of the series is now supporting DDR5-7200 without Excavation.
And this is the most free and basic ads as you like, with Post on X (By VideoCardz) Just a statement:
Intel 800 Series Series supports Jedec DDR5-7200 ⚡, providing faster bandwidth, improving stability and achieving the future for players and creators bothSeptember 4, 2025
If you look closely at the pictures in the post, you will see the screenshots of the CPU-Z free software tools showing the speed of RAM and the time of the set in Asus Prime Z890-P motherboard. Come to the SPD card section and you will see a few columns marked with Jedec #14 to one #17.
Jedec (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) is a consortium of semiconductor and electronics companies that work together to agree on the standards of all things related to PC. In this case, it is about speed and times of RAM. Everything marked by Jede is essentially classified as “not excessive” – by default RAM and CPU work well on these assessments.
The basic Intel Ultra 200S processors support DDR5 running to the approved by Jedec 6400 Mt/S, although they will be cheerful to cope with faster RAM than this. I speak happily, but it is not 100% guaranteed your Core Ultra CPU will support, for example, DDR5-8400, because this can only be achieved by official frames and processor memory controllers.
But what Asus says is that if you utilize one of his motherboards from the 800 series, you’ll be good to hit 7200 Mt/S Sans Excavation. What is a bit of a puzzle – why did Intel not say that his processors were capable of it during the premiere of Sthrow Lake? This could say something like “our native support processors up to 7200 Mt/s, and our start partners will have products that can be dealt with in the near future. For now, you get 6400 Mt/s.
One of the possible explanations is that Intel actually keeps this for the expected refreshing of Arrow Lake. In general, it is believed that, as in the composition from the 14th generation from the last generation, the next release of Intel processors will be nothing more than Lake shuttle shavings. Having a higher clock memory controller, it would naturally be part of this.
If so, does this mean that Asus jumped over the gun here and gave us a fragment about what Intel planned for us, waiting for Nova Lake Lake processors the size of Goliath?
I contacted Asus to ask what the post for the current 800 series owners means and whether they will have to download the BIOS update to have this Jedec DDR5-7200 or not, but at the time of writing he did not come back to me. We will update this story as soon as we hear more.
When it comes to using the Ultra Fast RAM with your Ultra 200S chip, well, I tested a whole series of games and applications at a speed of up to 8200 Mt/SI did not have much difference, especially in games. However, this was before all updates of the microcode, BIOS and Windows, which we saw since Arrow Lake moved in October last year.
Despite this, I am not convinced that 7200 Mt/S will have a noticeable impact on the performance of your games, because Arrow Lake’s biggest weakness is poor frame delays. Higher clock speeds help to relieve this, but to prevent it completely, you need big Increase the clock around, not only on the RAM and memory controller. Oh, and improved cache system.
In other words, we just need a better processor. Perhaps Nova Lake entitled?
