DDR5 Round-Up: Crucial, G.SKILL, Kingston, KLEVV Tested

Compute and Productivity Tests

7-Zip performance starts out with the G.SKILL double-density kit taking top spot in our chart. This is actually pretty unsurprising, as the AMD platform has long loved higher density memory modules over raw frequency. Though, the frequency and timings aren’t too bad, either.

Kingston’s 6GHz kit is next in the list, though it is notably slower in the compression department. The looser timings on the equally clocked KLEVV kit position it a little behind Kingston’s performance.

And a combination of slower speeds and lower density modules put the cost-effective Crucial kit comfortably at the bottom of our chart.

If you’re interested in Blender rendering, you really cannot go wrong with any of these kits, provided the capacity is sufficient for your requirements.

Even the wallet-friendly Crucial kit is practically the same performance as the higher-end alternatives.

It’s a similar story with Cinebench R23 multi-threaded rendering, too. Effectively, all of these kits will offer up more-or-less the same score from Cinebench.

There are technically small differences between the kits, but they’re pretty much insignificant. A hot weather day influencing the AMD processor’s boost clock will probably have greater influence.
