ASRock Reveals Slower DDR5 RAM Support For Non-K Core Ultra 200 CPUs

Memory overclocking can have a huge effect on application performance—depending on the app in question. One of the key features of Intel's new Arrow Lake processors is that they can support stratospheric memory transfer rates. However, that may only apply to the high-powered "K" series processors, at least if ASRock has any idea what it's talking about.

As spotted by Uniko's Hardware, the memory QVL for ASRock's Z890 Taichi high-end Arrow Lake motherboard shows verified memory speeds as high as 9066 MT/s on the Core Ultra 200 K Series Processors. However, uniquely, there's a drop-down on the page to switch to the "Core Ultra 200 non-K Series Processors." Doing so reveals that the highest verified memory speed is a still-speedy 7200 MT/s.

To be clear, DDR5 memory running at 7200 MT/s is still overclocking, and ...
