G.Skill introduces faster memory speeds with lower latency on its Trident Z5 RGB and Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 memory kits.
G.Skill Upgrades its 2x 48 GB and 2x 16 GB DDR5 Kits to Achieve 6800 MT/s and 6400 MT/s Respectively
Weeks after weeks, G.Skill is still trying to enhance its DDR5 RAM kits to achieve higher memory speeds while retaining a lower latency. The company introduced its 2x 48 GB and 2x 16 GB RAM kits the previous month in the Trident Z5 RGB and Trident Z5 Royal families. The 2x 48 GB DDR5 kit could achieve up to 6400 MT/s at CL30, and now it can achieve up to 6800 MT/s with a slight increase in latency.
The new specifications of the RAM are at 6800 MT/s at CL32 and the 2x 16 GB kit is a bit better by achieving 6400 MT/s at CL28. The latter is possible due to lower memory size, which makes it easier for the memory controller to handle higher memory speed at a lower latency. G.Skill has proudly announced that both the 2x 48 GB (96 GB) and 2x 16 GB (32 GB) DDR5 RAM kits are now available under the Trident Z5 Royal, Trident Z5 RGB, and Ripjaws M5 RGB series and support Intel XMP 3.0 out of the box.
With XMP 3.0 support, the RAM kits can be overclocked to the advertised frequencies with a lower latency effortlessly but could be enhanced even further with manual tweaks. Since achieving higher frequencies is easier on the Intel Z790 and Z890 platforms, users are free to experiment with the upgraded G.Skill DDR5 kits.
G.Skill has tested the frequencies on their setup, including both the LGA 1700 and LGA 1851 platforms, and found that in both cases the 2x 48 GB kit can achieve 6800 MT/s at memory timings CL32-42-42-108 and CL32-42-42-109 respectively. The first setup consists of the Intel Core i9 14900K on the ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero, while the other features the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and ROG Maximus Z890 Hero. Both motherboards are beasts but the LGA 1851 boards are particularly more impressive in memory overclocking.
The 2x 16 GB DDR5 RAM kit achieved 6400 MT/s of speed on the LGA 1700 platform at memory timings CL28-39-39-101 as revealed in the screenshot. Of course, the memories were fully stable with those timings as none of the kits resulted in any errors as tested in RunMemtestPro.
Both memory kits are perfect for users who don't want to delve too much into overclocking but still want to achieve a decent speed with lower latency on the Intel platforms. As per the information, the DDR5-6800 CL32 spec will be available at 32 GB (2x 16 GB), 48 GB (2x 24GB), 64 GB (2x 32 GB), and 96 GB (2x 48 GB) kits for various families. All these kits will start shipping in March 2025 worldwide through G.Skill partners.
