TeamGroup says its dual-mode memory kits are compatible with Intel XMP 3.0 for Intel Z790 and AMD EXPO for the new X870 (E) motherboards, with the latter reportedly launching in the next few days.

Intel XMP or AMD EXPO are memory profiles containing information about RAM frequency, latency, voltage, and more, and are meant to instruct your motherboard on which settings to use.

AMD has dabbled in this arena previously with X-AMP and just plain AMP, which stood for AMD Memory Profile, but neither technology has ever caught on in a way Intel's XMP has.
