G.Skill Ripjaws - DDR5 - module - 16 GB - SO DIMM 260-PIN

The G.Skill Ripjaws DDR5 SO-DIMM (F5-4800S3434A16GX1-RS) is a 16GB DDR5 memory module operating at 4800 MHz in a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor. Designed for laptops and small form factor PCs, this single‑stick module provides higher data transfer rates and improved energy efficiency compared with DDR4, making it suitable for gaming and high-performance computing.

Advantages

This Ripjaws DDR5 SO-DIMM module uses carefully screened IC chips and G.SKILL's selective binning and hand-testing process to ensure consistent reliability and performance. DDR5 architecture offers doubled banks and bank groups plus increased burst length and two 32‑bit sub-channels for greater data throughput. An on-board PMIC provides improved power management and signal integrity at high frequencies, and the module includes Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for easy BIOS-based performance tuning.

Suitable for

• Laptops requiring a 262-pin SO-DIMM DDR5 upgrade
• Small form factor PCs with DDR5 SO-DIMM support
• Gaming on portable systems and high-performance mobile workstations
• Multitasking and productivity applications demanding faster memory bandwidth
