Intel XMP technology improves RAM performance through overclocking

Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) is a technology that allows users to overclock RAM for better performance. It simplifies the process by using pre-set profiles, reducing the need for manual adjustments. XMP has evolved through versions, with XMP 3.0 offering more customization options. To use XMP, users access the BIOS during startup and enable the desired profile. XMP 2.0 provides two profiles, while XMP 3.0 offers three standard profiles and two customizable ones. This allows for fine-tuning RAM performance based on specific needs. XMP is safe to use and recommended by manufacturers to achieve advertised speeds. It does not damage RAM and is a stable method for enhancing performance. AMD has a similar technology called EXPO, which functions in the same way.
