ADATA Premier 16GB (DDR5-4800, CL40) Desktop RAM

Description

Premier vs Value: Same Module, Different Channel

The AD5U480016G-S carries the -S retail suffix, identifying it as ADATA’s Premier series — the retail-packaged and Premier-branded variant of the same DDR5-4800 16GB UDIMM platform as the Value AD5U480016G listed elsewhere in this range. ADATA Premier Series memory modules are designed specifically to boost overall computer performance and ensure the stability of your systems. In thorough conformance with industry standards, the Premier Series modules are stringently tested to ensure their compatibility and reliability, making them your first choice for memory upgrades in terms of quality and affordability. For buyers who prefer retail-packaged memory with explicit Premier branding, the AD5U480016G-S is the appropriate choice; for volume deployments and distribution-channel procurement, the bare AD5U480016G delivers the same specification.

DDR5 Platform Features

All DDR5 architectural advantages carry through identically. ADATA DDR5 memory modules deliver frequencies of up to 4800MT/s and feature bandwidth of 38.4GB/s, which is 50% higher than DDR4-3200, with the maximum frequency increased 1.63 times compared to DDR4. Previously only available to server-grade memory, DDR5 now comes with on-die ECC to provide additional protection against single-bit errors inside DDR5 arrays. ADATA DDR5 utilises on-module voltage regulation with a PMIC, resulting in better signalling. DDR5 operates at only 1.1V, a close to 30% power consumption reduction compared to DDR4.

Performance Profile & IC Configuration

The AD5U480016G-S runs at DDR5-4800 (PC5-38400) with CL40-40-40-77 timings at 1.1V via JEDEC specification — no XMP profile, no BIOS configuration required. The 2048×8 dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks for improved effective memory bandwidth, a meaningful advantage over single-rank alternatives at the same 16GB capacity.

⚠️ No XMP on this module: DDR5-4800 is achieved via JEDEC specification natively — no BIOS tuning required.

DDR5 Platform Requirements

DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 motherboards or slots. A DDR5-capable motherboard and CPU is required — Intel 12th generation Alder Lake or later on a DDR5-compatible board (Z690/B660/H670 and later), or AMD Ryzen 7000 series (AM5) or later.

⚠️ DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 slots: Verify that both your motherboard and CPU support DDR5 before purchasing. Many Intel 12th and 13th gen boards were available in both DDR4 and DDR5 variants — confirm your specific board’s memory type before ordering.

⚠️ Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, install a second AD5U480016G-S in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.
