We already have the usual 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB memory sticks, but also 24GB, 48GB, and 64GB DIMMs if you want oodles of RAM. Crucial's introduction of 12GB DDR5 memory DIMMs offers a 50% capacity boost over 8GB, offering 24GB in dual-channel DDR5 configurations (versus 16GB if you used 2 x 8GB sticks).

Crucial's new 12GB DDR5 memory is already listed on the Amazon UK website, spotted by industry insider "Momomo_US" on X. Crucial's new 12GB DDR5 sticks have a part number of "CT12G56C46S5" with speeds of DDR5-5600, but it can be downclocked to 5200 and 4800 if required.
