Instead of a box or plastic clamshell, Crucial's DDR5 Pro memory comes packaged in a cardboard blister pack. The front of the packaging advertises many of its key features including the capacity, speed rating and lifetime warranty.

Physical Features:

The main difference between Crucial's classic DDR5 memory and their new DDR5 Pro memory is the addition of a low profile, heat spreader.  Offering a sleek, modern look, this heat spreader is machined out of high quality aluminum and features a matte black finish. There's also a Crucial and DDR5 Pro logos on the front and the back as well as a sticker showing the model number, capacity, rated speed, voltage and timing.

I you were to remove the heat spreader, you'd find the same Micron D8DDZ (MT60B2G8HB-56B:G) memory chips that Crucial used on its classic DDR5-5600 desktop memory. These are 16Gb chips in a 2Gig x 8 configuration with a speed grade of 5600MT/s at a latency of CL46. 

 

Crucial's DDR5-5600 memory offers a couple of XMP profiles for Intel processors as well as a couple of EXPO profiles for AMD processors. As you can see above, the XMP and EXPO profiles are fairly similar with only a few differences in the timings table.
