G.Skill Allegedly Preps Non-Binary 24GB DDR5-6000 AMD EXPO Modules
According to these DIMM pictures released by a well-known hardware leaker, G.Skill is working on a non-binary 24GB DDR5 memory module with EXPO profile for AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series processors. mega size GPU. These Trident Z5 modules hit the sweet spot of AMD’s AM5 CPUs with a data transfer rate of 6000 MT/s.
G.Skill’s 24GB Trident Z5 module, which is currently being tested by various parties, is rated for DDR5-6000 operation with CL40 48-48-96 latency settings of 1.35V. This module comes with AMD EXPO profiles to simplify setup on AMD AM5 systems. Furthermore, this means that they have been thoroughly tested and are fully compatible with AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series processors based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture.
Based on images published by @Zed_Wang, G.Skill’s 24GB Trident Z module (F5-6000J4048F24GX2-TZ5NR) can run and boot Windows in DDR5-6000 mode. CPU-Z, on the other hand, has identified his DRAM manufacturer as Micron’s subsidiary SpecTek, so it looks like the memory stick uses Micron’s 24Gb chips.
Since the modules will ship in pairs, it’s reasonable to assume that they will be marketed as matching 48GB dual channel kits. Pricing is unknown, but we’re pretty sure it will be somewhere between the 32GB and 64GB kits and priced accordingly.
When memory module manufacturers started shipping 24Gb DRAM IC-based DDR5 DIMMs a few months ago, those modules featured Intel’s XMP profile and worked fine in Intel-based machines. Meanwhile, motherboard makers had to ensure proper support for AMD Ryzen 7000 based systems.
So far, no memory module manufacturer offers non-binary modules (24GB, 48GB, 96GB, etc.) with AMD EXPO support, so G.Skill will likely be the first.
