Asus Declares Its Intel 800-Series Motherboards Can Run DDR5-7200 Without Overclocking
Asus officially announces that its Intel 800-series motherboards are capable of supporting DDR5-7200 RAM speeds without requiring any overclocking, suggesting a performance enhancement for upcoming Arrow Lake processors.
Intel’s latest CPUs are expected to benefit from enhanced RAM speeds as Asus has confirmed that its 800-series motherboards can run DDR5-7200 without requiring any XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile) setup.
This simple announcement was made on their Twitter page, highlighting the support for JEDEC DDR5-7200. The post indicated that this increase would facilitate faster bandwidth and improved stability, making it ideal for both gamers and creators.
“Intel 800 series motherboards support JEDEC DDR5-7200 ⚡, delivering faster bandwidth, improved stability, and future-ready performance for gamers and creators alike.”

For reference, JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) sets industry standards for RAM speeds and timings. Typically, when RAM is labeled as JEDEC-approved, it implies that it’s not overclocked, meaning the RAM and CPU are capable of performing at those specifications by default.
This update is especially significant considering Intel’s Core Ultra 200S processors, which are noted to support RAM speeds up to a JEDEC-approved 6,400 MT/s. The new Asus development might imply that future Intel models may utilize these speeds natively.
Further in-depth analysis is expected as details emerge about potential BIOS updates or existing hardware compatibility with the expected DDR5-7200 speeds.
