Leak Indicates G.SKILL Prepping Non-Binary 24 GB DDR5 Memory Modules w/ AMD EXPO Support
Hardware leaker MEGAsizeGPU has uploaded photos of unreleased G.Skill DIMMs—they claim that the leaked hardware "is the world's first 24G*2 DDR5 expo module: F5-6000J4048F24GX2-TZ5NR." The next-gen Trident Z5 memory is said to be rated for a 6000 MT/s data transfer rate, and close-up shots of labels on heatsinks point to the sample units being non-binary 24 GB DDR5 memory modules that can support EXPO profiles for AMD's Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. MEGAsizeGPU claims that "6000 MHz is the sweetspot for Ryzen" (AM5).
Off-screen captures show a PC system booting up in DDR5-6000 mode—within a Windows OS environment, CPU-Z demonstrates that these new Trident Z5 modules are based on SpecTek-made 24Gb DRAM ICs (instead of binary 16Gb)—SpecTek is a division working under Micron Technology. G.SKILL will likely be selling non-binary Z5 memory in pairs, so we expect to see matched 48 GB dual-channel kits popping up on the market soon. MEGAsizeGPU did not mention anything about pricing or availability. Kingston debuted its own non-binary memory offerings at Computex 2023, but presentation material on hand did not mention whether their new models support AMD's Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO).
