Crucial Unveils 12GB DDR5 Memory, Bridging the Gap Between 8GB and 16GB DDR5 Modules

Crucial Announces New 12GB DDR5 Memory DIMMs

Crucial has recently unveiled its new 12GB DDR5 memory DIMMs, designed for both desktop PCs and laptops. This new offering fills the gap between the existing 8GB and 16GB DIMMs.

While the market already offers 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 24GB, 48GB, and 64GB memory sticks, Crucial’s 12GB DDR5 memory DIMMs stand out by offering a 50% capacity increase over 8GB. This allows for 24GB configurations in dual-channel DDR5 setups, compared to the 16GB that would be achieved with 2 x 8GB sticks.

The new 12GB DDR5 memory from Crucial is already listed on the Amazon UK website, as spotted by industry insider “Momomo_US”. The new 12GB DDR5 sticks, with a part number of “CT12G56C46S5”, offer speeds of DDR5-5600, but can be downclocked to 5200 and 4800 if necessary.

Crucial offers two kits of its new 12GB DDR5 memory: a single-stick 16GB DDR5 memory module and a 24GB kit (2 x 12GB sticks). Whether you’re looking for 12GB from a single stick or a dual-channel 24GB setup, Crucial has you covered.
