G.SKILL Announces New DDR4-4600 MHz Extreme Performance Trident Z Memory Kit

@infrared I'm sure Rejzor meant "Imagine what Ryzen could do if it could run with that speed RAM" not that it is currently possible.

You might be right, but that's not what he wrote. Doesn't matter anyway, I didn't post to tell him he's wrong about anything.

Well, I thought that was rather obvious when I used word "imagine". Besides, I think in Ryzen's case, getting internal bus clock to the core clock, getting them in synchronous mode would probably benefit it the most. But getting memory interface at 4 GHz is just a wishful thinking for now.

Only for the X299?? How about the Z270 platform? Or better, the future Z370 and Z390 ones?
I mean who the hell is using dual-channel RAMs on an X~ platform anyways??

those using a 7740k... kaby lake x is dual channel.

I know, it was a semi-sarcastic and rhetorical question, haha

Dave , any chance for a review of those, or even for the 4400MHz kits?? Thanks in advance!

I'll see what I can do. ?I do have to ask though, is there something in particular you are looking for in such a review?

Thanks for the replay.
Well, you know, the usual. But to be fairly honest, my number 1 curiosity is for gaming performance increase, especially on 2K or higher resolutions, then, archiving tasks, copying tasks, etc. Synthetic benches, not that much, maybe just some 3D Mark runs.
I prefer the real life hands on usage to be honest.
And yes, I need this mostly for my piece of mind relaxation, that those very high speeds are not at all worth it over the 3600 or even 3200Mhz modules.

Does TR count? It's getting awfully close to 4GHz mem speeds ~ http://www.overclock.net/t/1636550/amd-ryzen-threadripper-owners-club-1950x-1920x-1900x
