Ahead of its launch, some of the first pictures of G.Skill Memory's Trident Z5 CK series DDR5 CUDIMMs leaked to the web. The "CK" brand extension is used to denote CUDIMMs, or DDR5 DIMMs with a client clock-driver (CKD) component. The CKD is a component that acts like a filter to the memory physical-layer digital waveform, "clearing up" the memory eyes at high memory clocks. This enables higher DDR5 speeds upward of 8000 MT/s, although CUDIMMs can also be found at speeds as low as 6400 MT/s. Intel considers DDR5-8000 the "sweetspot" memory speed for its Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors, which means 8000 MT/s should be possible in Gear 2 mode, and future memory kits with speeds in excess of 10000 MT/s should be possible with Gear 4.

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).
