8GB Kit (4 G Bx 2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) CL16 SR x 8 Unbuffered DIMM 288pin In the ever-changing world of technology, any component more than half a decade old is usually in need of an update. At seven years old & counting, that’s exactly the state DDR3 memory is in: computers can only do so much with it. Since the introduction of DDR3 memory technology in 2007, processors have doubled in capability, SSDs have revolutionized throughput, & graphics cards have drastically increased frame rates, leaving memory as a limiting factor. With Crucial DDR4 Desktop Memory, crush the DDR3 memory bottleneck & unlock a new standard of performance. Get better performance using less power. Operating at just 1.2V compared to 1.5V for standard DDR3 memory, Crucial DDR4 consumes 20% less voltage than standard DDR3 technology. Crucial DDR4 modules also contain other efficiency features, for an overall power reduction of up to 40%. Effortlessly multitask between apps, & empower your system to fire on all cylinders. Crucial DDR4 increases memory bandwidth by over 30%, allowing your system to handle more data at once. As DDR4 technology matures, bandwidths are expected to achieve up to 25.6 GB/s – twice that of standard DDR3. To maximize bandwidth, Crucial DDR4 memory is optimized for next-gen platforms that support four channel memory.
