Before it's all said and down, a memory maker is going to release a DDR5-10000 kit to retail. There's a good chance it will be G.Skill (it's already overclocked RAM well past that mark). That day is not today, though G.Skill is showing off DDR5 in the CAMM2 form factor running at 10,000MHz (technically, 10,000MT/s) in...

We're not sure if it qualifies as being fashionably late just yet, but Silicon Power has officially joined the ranks of memory makers to leverage Clock Unbuffered Dual In-Line Memory Modules (CUDIMMs). The benefit of doing so is being able to offer faster memory kits than regular DIMMs, which is this case is a...

G.Skill continues to push out higher capacity and faster DDR5 memory kits at a frenetic pace. It's latest offering, which is announced but not yet available at retail, is a large capacity 128GB memory kit comprised of two 64GB modules, which is validated to run at DDR5-8400 on AMD Ryzen builds. We looked around and...

Remember when 640Kb of memory was enough? Even though Bill Gates never actually said that (despite often being attributed as doing so), there was actually a time when such a paltry amount of memory was common. Not anymore, and not for a very, very long time. How much memory is enough is debatable, and if you're of the...

As any sports athlete can attest, records are meant to be broken. For example, the Boston Celtics are coming off an historic NBA season in which the team claimed the most three-pointers ever in a single season, draining a staggering 1,370 shots from beyond the arc. The same concept applies to tech, as evidenced by yet...

Are you up for a challenge? Go hunt down a 128GB (2x64GB) memory kit in the DDR5-8000 range. Take your time, we'll wait. What's that, you couldn't find one? That's because they haven't existed until now. Memory makers have instead focused their high speed efforts on kits comprised of smaller capacities, but G.Skill...

We're still waiting for the first retail release of a DDR5-10000 memory kit (memory makers are trying to get there), but in the meantime, overclockers have repeatedly blown past that hurdle in a series of world records. The latest to do so is Hicookie, a professional overclocker and Gigabyte partner, who took a 24GB...

Mark our words, this will be the year that we'll finally see a DDR5-10000 (or faster) memory kit offered at retail. It's only a matter of time, especially now that Clock Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules (CUDIMMs) have entered the chat. In the meantime, we're seeing some amazing overclocks, including a DDR5 memory...

Mark our words, one of these days a memory maker is going to release a retail kit specified at DDR5-10000. Today is not that day, though Teamgroup is nipping the heels of the milestone that has so far eluded memory makers, with the release of its T-Force Xtreem CKD DDR5-8800 memory kit that it claims is "designed for...

There are plenty of kudos to go around when records are broken in sports—it's not uncommon for athletes to thank their training staff, teammates, coaches, parents, and anyone else involved in their achievement. So it also goes in the world of professional overclocking, hence why ASRock has taken to social media to...

You've undoubtedly heard that records are meant to be broken, a popular phrase in the world of professional sports. That includes the sport of extreme overclocking. When it comes to DDR5 memory frequencies, we're seeing records suddenly being broken at a rapid pace, with the current speed to beat set at 6,305.8MHz, or...

At some point, we'll have to scale back our coverage of a high-tech game of leapfrog involving two notable hardware teams—ASUS paired with G.Skill, and MSI teamed with Kingston. Both sets have joined forces with professional overclockers to claim (and reclaim) DDR5 speed records, with the new speed to beat set at...

We've talked a lot about CUDIMMs, or Clock Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules over the past week or so, but that's not the only development in memory. In what we hope becomes a trend, memory makers are starting to implement both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP profiles on the same DDR5 kits, with PNY the latest to do so...

It's often said in sports that records are meant to be broken, and sometimes it can take years or even decades for it to happen. In the sport of professional overclocking, however, no such long waits are required, at least with regards to DDR5 memory frequencies. To wit, G.Skill and ASUS just snatched the overclocking...

There have been several developments in the DDR5 memory space over the past week and slightly beyond, such as G.Skill unveiling its sleek and fast Trident Z5 CK DDR5-9600 memory for Arrow Lake, and both G.Skill and Kingston jockeying for the fastest overclocked DDR5 frequency. If that's not enough to get you stoked...

How quickly things can change, eh? When DDR5 first came onto the scene, the speed-to-price ratio was underwhelming, to say the least. It didn't take long for pricing to settle way down, but speeds didn't seem to ramp all that quickly afterward. Now with the introduction of CU-DIMMs, we're seeing memory makers hit new...

Subjectively speaking, G.Skill makes some of the sexiest RAM out there, depending on your taste in modules. If you're unconvinced, I'd like to enter into evidence its latest Trident Z5 CK series memory with sleek and reflective black heatspreaders. Objectively, these new kits are some of the fastest memory on the...

If you read that headline and are thinking that 6400 MT/s isn't really fast for DDR5, then you've fallen into the same trap we did. The key detail is that the new modules, which feature a clock driver directly on the memory module itself, don't require overclocking to hit that speed. DDR5-6400 is a new JEDEC speed...

It's taken a minute, but memory makers are finally starting to approach the DDR5-10000 mark, though they're not quite there yet. They are getting close, however, with G.Skill being the latest to announce yet another overclocked DDR5 memory kit at a blistering-fast speed, the Trident Z5 Royal Neo in DDR5-9000 form...

TeamGroup is once again making waves with more of its memory-based products. As we know, TeamGroup is always pushing the boundaries on its memory and storage products, just like it did with the GE Pro PCIe 5 SSD it announced at CES back in January of this year.
Today, the company announced that its newest memory...

For Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 200 desktop processors, perhaps more familiar by their code-name "Arrow Lake", Intel has removed Hyper-Threading from the P-cores. That makes those CPUs narrower, so they might not need as much memory bandwidth, right? Well, the Skymont E-cores are nearly three times as wide as the...

If there's a criticism to be had with DDR5 RAM, it's that there's a latency hit compared to high-end DDR4 kits. That's the cost of taking memory speeds to the next level. In an effort to lessen the gap, G.Skill has unveiled a line of "ultra-low latency" DDR5 memory with fast speeds and high capacities designed for AMD...
