G.Skill is Announcing 5 new members The Trident Z5 DDR5 memory kit for Intel platforms features all-new 24GB and 48GB capacity DDR5 modules and memory speeds up to 8200MT/s. In particular, the 8200MT/s kit is the fastest on the market with over 32GB capacity.
Again, there is only one DDR5-8200 kit for that speed in the list. This will be a 24GB x 2 (48GB) DDR5 memory kit with 40-52-52 timing. As an overview, the memory latency of this kit is slightly faster than the DDR5 5600MHz CL28 or 6000MHz CL30 kits. As such, it’s perfect for memory-sensitive applications like gaming, and really good for bandwidth-heavy workloads.
The next fastest kits are the DDR5-8000 dual channel kits and the DDR5-7200 dual channel kits. The 8000MT/s version comes with 40-48-48 timing and the 7200MT/s kit comes with 36-46-46 timing. Both have 48GB of DDR5 capacity split between two DDR5 sticks (2 x 24GB).
The last remaining kit is the slowest kit with 6800MT/s and 6400MT/s versions, but there is also a significantly higher capacity version. The 6800MT/s version comes with 34-46-46- timing and the 6400MT/s version comes with 32-39-39 timing. Both kits come in two configurations, 2 x 24GB kits or 2 x 48GB kits, offering users a total memory capacity of 48GB or 96GB.
G.Skill showed the real memory test of 8400MT/s 48GB kit and 6800MT/s 96GB kit running MemtestPro 4.0 on Core i9-13900K CPU and ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero. Both memtest results show full stability of the kit, no errors.
The 48 GB and 96 GB capacities are completely new to the consumer space and open up a whole new wave of capacity options in the DDR5 market. Previously, you were limited to 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities on mainstream platforms using two or four memory sticks. With 24GB and 48GB modules, the user can choose he 48GB, 96GB or even he 192GB options on two or four sticks.
This allows users to target more optimal memory configurations without having to overpay for extra capacity they don’t need. For example, if a user needs his 80 GB of RAM for a particular application, he will need to purchase a 128 GB kit to fully meet that goal. Now you can get much closer to that goal with a 96 GB kit and pay for less memory he overhead. The 192GB option is also great, as it’s much larger than his previous 128GB cap. (Again, this example only applies to mainstream platforms, not HEDT or workstations with more than 4 DDR5 slots.)
All kits are designed specifically for the Intel DDR5 platform and support XMP 3.0. Technically, XMP can run on AMD Ryzen 7000 series equivalents. However, it does not guarantee stability and it is more likely that the memory sub-timing will not be optimal compared to a decent AMD EXPO kit.
