G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is excited to announce the Trident Z5 Royal Neo series DDR5 memory, designed for AMD AM5 platforms. Trident Z5 Royal Neo memory comes with AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) technology, and will be available up to DDR5-8000 CL38-48-48-127 extreme speed memory specification in 32 GB (2x16GB) and 48 GB (2x24GB) kit capacities. With a mirrored finish in gold or silver, this new memory series is the ideal DDR5 memory solution for enthusiasts and overclockers to build a stylish, high-performance AMD PC system.

Luxury-Class DDR5 with AMD EXPO
Following the luxury-class Trident Z5 Royal design with CNC-cut aluminum heatspreader in mirrored-finish gold or silver colors and a crystalline light bar for magnificent RGB lighting, the Trident Z5 Royal Neo is designed for AMD AM5 platforms with AMD EXPO profile. Customizable RGB lighting is supported through the G.SKILL Trident Z Lighting Control software or third-party motherboard lighting software.
Extreme Speed DDR5-8000 Memory with EXPO
With the new AMD Ryzen 9000 series desktop processor on a compatible platform, the Trident Z5 Royal Neo series offers extreme overclock memory speeds of up to DDR5-8000 through the 1:2 clock divider mode in BIOS - providing AMD enthusiasts and overclockers a great high-speed memory solution.

AMD EXPO Support & Availability
The new Trident Z5 Royal Neo series DDR5 memory kits support AMD EXPO (Extended Profile for Overclocking) technology for easy memory overclocking via the motherboard BIOS, and will be roll out to G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners starting in August 2024.

So these will modules will work on 600 series boards coupled with 9000 CPUs?

You can already do this with 600 series boards and 7000 series CPUs. Though you're better off with a 1DPC mobo variant.

God, this is tacky. Suppose there really is no accounting for taste. Should be a hit with all those “golden wrapped Bentleys on massive chrome wheels” PC enthusiasts. Joking, of course, but I don’t understand GSkill insisting on making their best modules in this design only. Offer at least the same PCB and chips with just a grey or black heatspreader at least or something.

Nice choice, I'd put a thermal pad on the PMIC if this revised design still doesn't have one. Helps stability at these higher frequencies for sure.

I chose Royals as my first set of DDR4 lol.. might as well keep it going..

They are super flexible, can run pretty much any bin.. might not be happy, but still do it :D

Well luckily they also offer minimalist Flare sticks.

No Flares with 8000 EXPO yet, unfortunately, hence my suggestion. Those top out at 6000. Of course, whether or not 8000 will be worth it even on Zen 5 is an open question for now, so… meh.

What's the maximum 1:1 enabled memory speed? 6400?

Pure silicon lottery above 6000. All depends on how good of an IMC your CPU has. Potentially, things will be better with Zen 5, but that’s not something one can reliably explore until they are out.

Depends on your IMC, RAM die, cooling and motherboard.

It's still not 1:1 BTW, as the IF is still running at 2000 MHz similar to AM4/Zen 3, so it's more like 3:2:2 where IF is 2000 MHz, IMC and RAM at 3000 MHz if you're running 6000 MT.

Or 1.5:1.

Would be 3:4:2 if you went up a gear to do 8000 MT or whatever.

Zen 4 testing with various config:


As you can see putting clocks out of sync can be slower.

I see. Think I read somewhere that the sweet spot memory speed for the ZEN5 processors will be 6400 but I'm not so sure. Thank you for the reply, thumbs up!

@dgianstefani
Interesting bit of knowledge. Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

This is a very good graph. It would be nice if someone made a same one for the 9950x when it comes out.

I like the design. But will not be buying them.

I all ready have there older Trident z royal silver and gold ddr 4 modules.

Those are kinda cool. Not sure what builds will look good with the silver/gold-looking finish, but cool to see RGB manifest in some way other than just a simple light bar.

I was reading it somewhere and I don't know if this will be limited to the X870E but there is an adaptive memory mode that changes to high frequency for apps that need it or low latency for games..... How good it actually works who can say I guess we will see.

The silver go good in any build white/black etc the gold is more you just want to go full flava flav

I see 4 kits validated at 8000 for the X670E CH, all these kits are listed at 1.35v c40 (not the kits in the article), I find that suspect knowing that tuned 6200-6400 c30-32 normally required 1.425+. Even testing 7800 c38 required 1.43v when I had my AM4 system on hand 5-6 months ago. Have there been further improvements I’ve just missed? Id still be very surprised any EXPO kit would work at 8000 on Zen 4, especially at less than 1.4v.

The AM5 up-and-coming nine series can easily handle this memory speed. However, it's possible that the motherboard is the bottleneck and doesn't support such a high memory speed without overclocking. We need the motherboard to recognize the speed of this RAM. If not, it's just an extra meat leaf on the bone, unused.

I guess I'm tacky then, because I'm going to ditch my current set of Trident Z5 Neos for a pair of these bad boys in silver. :D

I still have my set of silver DDR4's too :pimp:

Same, but I'll probably wait till I need a second DDR5 based platform.

Also these better have multiple profiles.... 6000-6400 low latency and then 8000 whatever.

Speaking of it's very strange we've gotten 0 pricing on Ryzen 9000 makes me think they are going to be a bad value but would hope to be wrong.

Some dude who works at bestbuy says they already have stock and that pricing is low on the anandtech forums I guess we will see.

Best Buy is going to start selling G.Skill RAM? That's [good] news to me.

At the moment they only stock Corsair's stuff. They're not bad (since all RAM are similar to each other) but they could be priced better compared to Amazon and NewEgg.

Na, that was in reference to 9000 series pricing we are less than two weeks out and no pricing.

Afaik besbuy still doesn't carry a good selection of ram and other components.

Could you add Vcore to the table as well? I mean, when we go from 6000 EXPO to 6400 Fully Tuned as an example, does Vcore stay at the same value or does the value increase?

You can buy the none "NEO" on Newegg. Considering the NEO just has a EXPO profile instead, they are practically the same thing. Different QVL lists is all.

Ryzen 9000 will be here soon, lets hope the price isn't $$$$

I always thought it was better to look for AMD EXPO certified kits when pairing RAM with the 7000 series, to avoid possible problems? :confused::eek:
