In order to support DDR5 memory, AMD's Ryzen 7000 series Raphael" desktop processors, which are based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture, will be designed with a strong emphasis on DDR5 memory overclocking capabilities. lable.

Raphael is the first ddr5 desktop platform designed specifically for team red PC afficionados. 

According to AMD Memory Enabling Manager Joseph Tao, the processors will be capable of handling DDR5 memory clock speeds "you might have thought weren't possible." "Our first DDR5 gaming platform is our Raphael platform, and one of the awesome things about Raphael is that we're really going to try and make a big splash with overclocking, and I'll just kinda leave it there, but speeds that you might think couldn't be possible, may actually be possible with this overclocking spec," he said. It has been reported that AMD is working on a new overclocking standard for DDR5 memory called RAMP (Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profile), which the company intends to use as a competitor to Intel's XMP 3.0 protocol. AMD revealed earlier this year that it is working on Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profiles. RAMP will be the memory modules' equivalent to Intel XMP 3.0, storing compatible ddr5 overclocking profiles with faster speeds and tighter frequencies. It's unclear whether RAMP should be capable of such high speeds.

AMD's "Raphael" Socket AM5 desktop processors will be the second in the company's history to enable DDR5 memory technology). It is already included in the Ryzen 6000 "Rembrandt" CPUs, which are based on the "Zen 3+" architecture and feature a DDR5 memory interface. It is likely that Socket AM5 will be a DDR5-only platform, as opposed to Intel's Socket LGA1700. That thus means no DDR4.
