China-made CXMT memory now supports faster speeds on MSI's AMD motherboards — new BIOS adds DDR5-8200 validation on dual-DIMM, DDR5-7200 on quad-DIMM models

What happened

MSI released BIOS updates for AM5 motherboards, officially validating CXMT DDR5 modules up to 8200 MT/s (dual-DIMM) and 7200 MT/s (quad-DIMM), surpassing previous limits of 6800 MT/s. This follows similar optimizations for Intel platforms earlier this year. Bullish for CXMT DDR5 market acceptance and demand.
