Crucial Desktop RAM DDR5 16GB 4800 – CT16G48C40U5

This RAM module is designed for desktop computers and utilizes DDR5 technology, which offers higher data transfer rates and improved efficiency compared to its predecessors. It has a total capacity of 16 GB, operates at a speed of 4800 MHz, and uses non-ECC technology, which means it doesn’t have error-checking capabilities commonly found in ECC RAM modules. The CAS latency of CL40 indicates the delay between the moment a memory controller requests data and when it’s available. Lower CAS latency values generally indicate better performance, although the overall impact on real-world performance can be minimal for most users.

Product Features

Faster load times and file transfers

Crucial DDR5 Desktop Memory can empower your computer to transfer 50% more data than DDR4 at launch, resulting in faster load times, file transfers, downloads, refresh rates, and less lag time5. Due to higher bus efficiency, DDR5 technology is not just faster than the previous generation, it’s better1.

More responsive multitasking

Crucial DDR5 offers 50% faster speeds than DDR4 at launch4, empowering users with extreme performance right out of the box. Even more impressive, Crucial DDR5 is optimized for enhanced performance and multitasking, not just during testing, but in real-world conditions. Opening more browser tabs and switching between apps now feels more responsive than ever.

Extreme innovation for stable performance

Crucial DDR5 takes an extreme step forward in engineering over the previous generation with two independent 32-bit channels per module for optimized performance7. Designed with on-die ECC (ODECC)8 at the component level for long-term stability, Crucial DDR5 is engineered to maintain the same reliability as the previous generation, even with the rigorous demands of next-gen computing.

Optimized power efficiency

For improved efficiency and stability, Crucial DDR5 introduces on-module voltage regulation with a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), which was on the motherboard with older memory technologies7. This results in improved signaling and cleaner power for the modules (DIMMs). Moreover, DDR5’s on-module operating voltage is only 1.1V compared to DDR4’s 1.2V.
