We talked about the DDR5 RAM memory, which finally debuted with the new Intel Alder Lake-S platform released earlier this month. In the case of TeamWe have also been talking about its DDR5 for quite some time, although it is true that it is only now that they have finally made the official launch, also indicating the the price that we will have to pay for this new generation of RAM.
Officially, TeamGroup is bringing to market two new variants of its DDR5 RAM memories: on the one hand, we will have the most basic models called Vulcan, and which will be sold in kits of 32 GB at 5,200 MHz speed, while the most high-end models will be the DELTA RGB, with RGB lighting as the name suggests and which will also be available in 32 GB kits but at a higher speed, 6400 MHz.
DELTA RGB and Vulcan, that’s TeamGroup’s DDR5
We start by looking at the more basic model of the two launched on the market, the DDR5 Vulcan. We are dealing with RAM memories with a low profile aluminum heat sink, enough to keep the chips at the right temperature and which facilitate their installation without disturbing the sink processor. This heat sink is available in the colors red and matt black, made in two pieces which are connected by a clasp in the upper area. DRAM chips come into contact with the heat sink through thermal pads to facilitate heat transfer and thus have more efficient operation.
According to TeamGroup, these memories have a lot of room for overclocking, both because of the excellent chip selection and because of the operating temperature range they can operate at. However, the manufacturer only offers them in a dual channel kit with two modules of 16 GB each (32 GB in total) with two frequency specifications: 4800 MHz and 5200 MHz.
The integrated power management circuit and integrated error correction code (ECC) improve the power management efficiency, reliability, stability and performance of these new RAMs on any type of memory. which platform, although it is true that they will currently only work with an Intel Alder Lake-S processor. Platform.
On the other hand, we have the high-end models (for now) of the manufacturer, the DELTA RGB which, as the name suggests, are distinguished by the integration of RGB lighting which, as always with this manufacturer, can be configured using the software on the motherboard regardless of the manufacturer.
TeamGroup also indicates that these DELTA RGB are designed for Overclocking, in particular thanks to its large efficient heat sink which keeps the chips always fresh. As in the previous model, they are made of aluminum and incorporate thermal pads to facilitate the transmission of heat from the chips to the heat sink, which with its integrated integrated circuit (which improves energy management and promotes production less heat), gives enough leeway to increase your operating frequency.
And, speaking of frequency, these memories are also only offered in 32 GB kits (2 modules of 16 GB each) and, in this case, in slightly higher operating frequencies: 6000 MHz and 6400 MHz .
Pricing and availability
In the headline of this new release we announced that the 32 GB started at 300 Euros, and it is that the official prices of these kits according to the manufacturer are as follows:
- DDR5 Vulcain: 299.99 Euros.
- DELTA RGB DDR5: $ 399.99.
It must be taken into account that the manufacturer has specified these prices for the high-end models (i.e. 5,200 MHz for the Vulcan and 6,400 MHz for the DELTA RGB), it should therefore be understood that the models which operate at a speed lower will be slightly cheaper. Availability is announced for the end of November, when they can be found in store.
