Memory XMP
pcXMP is a profile that allows memory modules to automatically be set to higher performance levels than their standard specifications.
expanded
Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) is designed to enable users to overclock their memory modules by loading pre-configured, tested, and stable profiles that exceed JEDEC standard specifications. XMP provides an accessible method for users to enhance memory performance without the need to manually adjust individual parameters such as timings and voltages in the BIOS, facilitating optimized performance in demanding computing applications such as gaming or high-performance computing.
examples
An Intel Core i9-13900K processor and an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 motherboard utilize Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory with XMP profile synchronization to achieve clock speeds of 6000 MT/s.
This is commonly used in gaming PCs or workstations where high memory bandwidth and reduced latencies are crucial for performance in CPU-intensive applications.
A system with an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi motherboard is equipped with Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory, configured to use an XMP profile to run at 3200 MHz instead of the default 2133 MHz.
Particularly beneficial for video editing and rendering applications, where fast data access rates directly impact processing time.
