If the rumors are true about RDNA 5, it's actually more like 192 compute units—three times the size of the RX 9070 XT.

That's because running four sticks of RAM, especially DDR5, puts more stress on the memory controller and can lead to lower stable frequencies when using XMP or EXPO profiles.

Therefore, all manufacturers add a small microcontroller to their cards (along with extra memory) to invisibly ‘replace’ the defective sectors to the operating system.

For example, in a system using one dual-rank DDR2 DIMM, the memory controller can have up to 18 loads on the address and command pins compared to two for each data pin.
