In a nutshell: G.Skill has announced two new DDR5 memory kits for Intel PCs. The first is a low-latency 32GB kit running at 6400 MT/s with CL28 timings, consisting of two 16GB modules. The second is a high-capacity kit with a speed of 6800 MT/s and CL32 latency, available in four different capacities, with options reaching up to 96GB. The former will be available in a single configuration at launch, while the latter will be offered in four, with the flagship kit featuring two 48GB sticks. Alongside the 96GB kit, additional options include 32GB (2x16GB), 48GB (2x24GB), and 64GB (2x32GB).With timings of 32-42-42-108, the DDR5-6800 kits are designed for overclocking enthusiasts seeking both high capacity and top-tier performance. The kits have been validated on Intel's Z790 and Z890 platforms.To confirm stability, G.Skill published Memtest screenshots demonstrating the memory kits running error-free for over eight hours each on two setups: an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard with an Intel Core i9-14900K processor, and an Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Hero motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU.The DDR5-6400 kit is designed for people who value ultra-low latency. It was validated by running Memtest on an Intel Core i9-14900K system with the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero motherboard, using memory timings of 28-39-39-101.The kits will be marketed under the Trident Z5 Royal, Trident Z5 RGB, and Ripjaws M5 RGB brands as part of G.Skill's strategy to reach the widest range of buyers. They are optimized for Intel systems with support for Intel XMP 3.0 overclocking profiles; G.Skill's press release makes no mention of AMD EXPO support.The new memory kits are set to roll out to retailers worldwide in March 2025. Pricing has yet to be announced, but they are expected to carry a premium price tag. G.Skill already offers multiple 96GB (2x48GB) CL32 kits under the Trident Z5 and Trident Z5 Royal brands, which currently sell for over $300 on Newegg. The new kit will likely be priced at least as high, if not higher.Last year, AMD introduced its DDR5-9000 kits for AMD systems, featuring a CL44-56-56 configuration and support for AMD EXPO overclocking profiles. Later in the year, the company also launched its cutting-edge DDR5-9600 CUDIMM modules, specifically designed for Intel's Core Ultra 200 processors and Z890 chipset motherboards. According to G.Skill, these modules can achieve speeds of up to 10,000 MT/s with air cooling. // Related Stories
