G.SKILL and ASUS Sets New DDR5-8888 CL88 Overclocking World Record

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is thrilled to announce the achievement of a new overclocking world record for fastest memory frequency at DDR5-8888 CL88-88-88-88, in cooperation with ASUS. This amazing frequency speed was achieved by the extreme overclocker "lupin_no_musume" with G.SKILL Trident Z5 DDR5 memory, ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard, and Intel Core i9-12900K processor. To see the moment this amazing overclocking world record was set, please click the following video link: https://youtu.be/OgQFbUOs6i8

DDR5-8888 CL88-88-88-88 - Pushing the Speed to the Limit
At the dawn of the DDR5 era, G.SKILL and ASUS have been constantly exploring the memory speed limitations of the latest Intel Z690 platform. Surpassing the previous DDR5-8704 world record in November 2021, a new memory frequency world record is achieved at DDR5-8888 under liquid nitrogen extreme cooling. The memory speed has been validated by CPU-Z. Please refer to the screenshot and validation link below: https://valid.x86.fr/qgvylc
"We are very excited to collaborate with the ASUS ROG team to break the DDR5 frequency world record at DDR5-8888 with our best-in-class hardware," says Tequila Huang, Corporate Vice President of G.SKILL International. "This demonstrates the unparalleled overclocking potential of DDR5, and we will continue to dedicate effort into developing faster DDR5 memory for overclockers and PC enthusiasts."

EatingDirtEarly RAM iterations are almost always slower in terms of latency. DDR4 has surpassed even the fastest DDR3 sticks in terms of latency now. DDR5 might never surpass DDR4 in latency, but it should eventually be developed to be close enough that it basically won't matter.

Latency doesn't mean everything. You can see that in the DDR5 scaling review that TPU did. Some games are in fact faster with more bandwidth.

That being said, the fastest DDR4 you could get at release was around 3200 CL16. Those kits were around $800 at release. Needless to say they no longer cost that much, and you can now easily get decent, affordable 3600 CL16 kits.

Everyone should expect DDR5 to get faster, cheaper and have lower latency over time. Will it ever have lower latency than DDR4? Probably not. Will it matter? Not enough for you to notice. So as long as you don't buy bargain basement DDR5(4800 CL40), you're unlikely to notice the loss in performance at 1440p+, as it's only around 2% less in the TPU test suite of games right now. www.techpowerup.com/review/ddr5-memory-performance-scaling/5.html
I don't know what you consider affordable, but they got some decent 3600 CL14 kits.
