G.SKILL Announces New 24 GB and 48 GB Module Capacity Kits, Up to DDR5-8200

[GFreeman]

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is announcing the release of additional high-performance overclocked DDR5 memory kits, based on the 24 GB and 48 GB capacity modules, including an incredibly high-speed DDR5-8200 CL40-52-52 48 GB (24 GB x2) specification, as well as a 96 GB (48 GB x2) capacity kit at DDR5-6800 CL34-46-46.

A New High-Speed Frontier with 24 GB x2
Continuing to explore the limits of DDR5 memory speed, G.SKILL has reached an amazing DDR5-8200 CL40-52-52 with the new 24 GB capacity modules. See the screenshot below to see this memory kit tested on the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard and Intel Core i9-13900K processor.
The Need for Speed with 96 GB (48 GB x2)
At the higher module capacity of 48 GB, G.SKILL also reached DDR5-6800 CL34-46-46 at 96 GB (48 GB x2) kit capacity. Refer to the screenshot below to check out this high-speed, high-capacity kit tested on the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard and Intel Core i9-13900K processor.

Never seen a build reach even 8000 MT/s. It might be possible on some machines but my 13900KS and Asus board only reaches 7200MT/s stable in gaming. Haven't done the testing yet but I know there's better timings on 7200 MT/s sticks so I would just pick up the best timings at that speed this gen to get the best performance. 14th gen processors will allow for higher RAM speeds though.

Compared to Corsair's offering, these 96GB kits are quite a bit faster.

Pretty much need a Z790 Apex, Kingpin or Tachyon. Some have gotten 4-slot MBs to run 8000 MT/s and above, but that takes some tinkering.

What mobos even support this "XMP"?

I made up my mind years ago that I wouldn't upgrade to a ddr5 platform till it reached "parity" with ddr4, which meant ddr5-7200 @ 32-32-32 for me (equivalent to ddr4-3600 @ 16-16-16). I thought it would be another 2 years before we saw that reached but it looks like things might actually get there next year Guess that means I'll be in the market for Zen5 or 14th gen Intel soon*

@ir_cow would be the one person i know of able to get such high speeds on DDR5, because he's got access to a lot of motherboards and RAM kits to find the ones that get along (And a CPU with an IMC that good)

DDR5 ram has outpaced what current CPU's and motherboards can provide - I'm with you that it's worth waiting on revisions there, hopefully not just another "gear" that lets the IMC's remain the same at a different divider


Like with ryzen and maintaining the 1:1 ratios, i fear we'll end up in another arms race where they'll find a workaround to let the high ram speeds run, but at a latency/performance cost making it redundant

@Mussels there is a certainly a challenge here for 7200+. I agree the CPU IMC plays a significant role, but also the motherboard if you aren't going to manually set the SA, TX and VDD2 voltages.

For plug and play users, this pretty much means 7200 is probably the soft limit unless your using one of those 2-slot motherboards I mentioned before.

We are already heading to another MHz race. It's already crazy to think that ram can run at 4GHz.

It's gone nuts.

Look at when Ryzen launched and intel 6th gen - 2133MT (1666Mhz) was either an enforced limit (the non-Z boards) you had no control over, or something you had to work hard at getting above on platforms like AM4, with no guarantees of success at all.
We had gears introduced and ratios, but with performance issues - so DDR4 roughly went from 2000 to 4000, as the lower and maximums over about 6 years and 3-4 generations of CPUs and IMCs


DDR5? In the space of two years (One generation from AMD and intel, since 12/13 are somewhat compatible) it's already doubled and gone from 4000 to 8200 and CPU's cant keep up.
