Summary and conclusion
Micron has made a clear leap forward with their new DDR5 24 Gbit RevB ICs, of course in capacity, but also in maximum clock speed. That Corsair can offer a DDR5 kit with Micron ICs and an XMP profile at 7000 Mbps would have been considered impossible a few months ago. However, it must also be clearly stated that the essential properties in the timings have remained the same and especially write operations still take significantly longer than with Samsung or Hynix ICs. 5M24B are no miracle ICs, but a step in the right direction.
The design of Corsair’s Vengeance modules with a 10 layer board from Hsien Jinn with JEDEC dimensions and a plain, functional cooler, is a welcome, sober change from many other kits on the market. Those simply looking for good, understated DDR5 RAM without RGB bombardment have a solid option to choose from with Corsair’s Vengeance modules, now also with 24 Gbit memory chips.
With a price of around 160 Euros for the 5600 variant and 180 Euros for the top SKU with DDR5-7000 XMP profile, the modules are very favorably placed in the market, especially when you consider that you get two 24 GB modules per kit here. For all those who are looking for a compromise between 16 Gbit single and dual-rank modules, the new Micron ICs with their 50% higher memory density could be just right. In addition to the higher XMP profile, the high-end SKU also offers a better selection of memory components, which more than justifies the approx. 20 euro surcharge for the 7000 Mbps variant.
Also for Ryzen systems, especially with X3D CPUs, where RAM latency is less of an issue, the Corsair Vengeance 24 GB modules would in thoery be an interesting pairing, but only in theory. Unfortunately, even AMD’s latest AGESA at the time of testing, 1.0.0.6, cannot yet handle the new memory ICs and running the modules is simply not possible. However, I would be surprised if AMD is not already working on a new AGESA release with optimizations for Micron’s 24 Gbit RevB.
The Corsair Vengeance modules with XMP profile are actually only designed for the current Intel platform and work perfectly there, especially in terms of price-performance. The fact that the timings cannot be tightened as much as with other ICs should be irrelevant for operation in XMP mode and thus for the vast majority of users anyway. Especially for buyers who are simply looking for good, reliable RAM with a bit more capacity, the new 24 and 48 GB Vengeance modules from Corsair are thus a real recommendation.
The DDR5-7000 RAM kit was kindly provided to us by Corsair. There was no obligation to publish it. Furthermore, there was no influence on the tests and their results. The DDR5-5600 kit was purchased privately for the purpose of testing.
