  • I just checked by above mentioned code and it is showing Manufacturer: Micron Mar 12, 2022 at 13:26
  • But I brought Samsung. Is it FAKE or REAL ? Mar 12, 2022 at 13:28
  • This claims Micron is less bandwith eetasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/02/DDR5_Table1.jpg so if it is a concern you might want to trade it in for a samsung.
