Overclocking profilesiProfiles stored on the modules. EXPO ULL is AMD's EXPO Ultra Low Latency profile. None means the kit has no XMP or EXPO profile and runs from its default SPD settings. This includes a faster default speed with no profile, such as Kingston Plug N Play. Every DDR5 kit listed as Intel XMP is XMP 3.0. Every DDR4 kit listed as Intel XMP is XMP 2.0.

The sheets say Single-sided or Double-sided module and the page data gives a chip organisation per part (2Gx8 for 16GB and 32GB, 1Gx8 Half for the dual-sided 16GB, 1Gx16 or 1Gx8 Half for single-sided 8GB, 512x16 Half for dual-sided 8GB). Chip count times chip width gives one 64-bit rank for the single-sided parts and two ranks for the double-sided parts. Left out for the kits, which state no sides, and for the 64GB module, whose listed 2Gx8 organisation would need 32 chips.23Reviewigorslab.de/en/affordable-ddr5-lottery-with-potent-peak-performance-patriot-signature-line-ddr5-4800-modules-in-overclocking-tesRead 15 October 2026PSD516G480081: eight x8 ICs on one side, one 64-bit rank.

Module heightiHeight of one module from the bottom edge of the contacts to the top, with the heat spreader and light bar as sold. It decides the clearance under large CPU air coolers. This is the vertical height standing in the slot, not the board thickness. Makers write L x W x H, and some call the standing height W. Use the middle number of the three. A size with only two numbers gives length and height, so the smaller is the height. The longest is the module length and the smallest the thickness.

Read, write and copy are in MB/s as AIDA64 prints them, where 1 MB is 1,048,576 bytes. Results depend on the CPU and board, so compare rows from the same CPU only. AIDA64 switches a result of 100 GB/s or more to GB/s, where 1 GB is 1024 MB, so 113.64 GB/s is stored as 116367 MB/s, rounded to a whole MB/s. The printed figure goes in the source note.
