This will list anything you need to know about your hardware:

sudo dmidecode

Example:

...

    ...
    Total Width: 16 bits
    Data Width: 16 bits

ONLY memory:

sudo dmidecode -t memory

I just checked by above mentioned code and it is showing Manufacturer: Micron – carl johnson Mar 12 '22 at 13:26
But I brought Samsung. Is it FAKE or REAL ? – carl johnson Mar 12 '22 at 13:28
This claims Micron is less bandwith https://www.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. – Rinzwind Mar 12 '22 at 13:35
