It is expected that the chipmaker will take advantage of this opportunity to concentrate on high-speed DDR5 memory compatibility by launching a new profiling system dubbed RAMP.

If you're wondering what the acronym stands for, it's not difficult to guess – Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profile, for those of you who are still perplexed – and AMD's goal is to provide certification similar to Intel's XMP to a wide range of memory manufacturers. 

RAMP is meant to "exceed the well-known JEDEC standards for future DDR5 memory, such as Intel XMP 3.0." RAMP's long-term viability is in doubt because AMD's existing AMP profiles lag behind XMP, to the point that a significant number of motherboard manufacturers have chosen to adapt XMP settings to AMD motherboards. Ryzen users are well aware that high-speed memory does not always operate as simply as it does on most Intel motherboards, which is referred to as DOCP (Direct Overclock Profile) on Asus motherboards and EOCP (Extended Overclock Profile) in Gigabyte motherboards. 

While raw performance will ultimately determine whether or not the Ryzen 7000 will be welcomed by enthusiasts, it is the perceived level of overall refinement that gives us reason to be optimistic about the processor. Because of the promise of improved RAMP memory compatibility and pin-less LGA1718 processors, we're looking forward to a more user-friendly platform in the future.
