Gigabyte breaks DDR5 speed record
The world record achieved by Gigabyte combines 16GB Aorus DDR5-8333 RGB modules, which have not yet been released, in the dual DIMM Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Tachyon. While this motherboard of Gigabyte is specially designed for memory and CPU overclocking, HiCookie managed to overclock DDR5 memory to 11136 MHz (5567.5 effective) in the test system it established. Of course, we should not say that the LN2 cooling, which we often see in such overclocking, is also used here.
On the other hand, it should be noted that records are only to be broken. Because these records may soon fall into a ridiculous position. Because Adata claims that 12600 MHz values can be reached with the upcoming XPG DDR5 memory. In addition, it is possible to find DDR5 memory with transfer speeds up to 8000/9000 Mbps in the consumer segment, but these are aimed at the upper class in terms of prices. With the spread of new generation computer hardware and Intel starting to make DDR5 memory mandatory, we will start to see more decreases in the prices of these memories.
