Is a speed of 12,600MT/s predicted by ADATA at the beginning of the new dynamic memory era possible? A new speed record is already within less than 1,500MT/s of the desired goal
Another speed record for DDR5 memories lands upon us, and this time it is not Asus and G.Skill that are responsible for the achievement – but rather GIGABYTE, with a Z790 motherboard and a DDR5 module made by it and with the help of the well-known Taiwanese overclocker HiCookie, who often collaborates with his compatriot company in special tasks such
Using the advanced AORUS Z790 Tachyon motherboard, together with a senior Core i9-13900K processor, liquid nitrogen cooling and a single 32GB AORUS branded memory module (a sample that has not yet been officially launched apparently, with a verified speed of 8,333MT/s judging by the model code) – Granted an operating frequency of 5,567.5MHz, which translates to an effective operating rate of 11,136MT/s within the working method of modern DDR memories that perform an operation at every rise and fall of the voltage level. A new and unprecedented record for dynamic memories in general and DDR5 memories in particular.
The new record is only about 3MHz higher, or about 6MT/s, than the previous record that was set about three months ago (based on a board and a memory module from Asus) – but this is enough to allow GIGABYTE to brag about the achievement and publish it to the public, as soon as possible Before someone else steals the premiere for themselves.
GIGABYTE already used its Tachyon board to break ten other conversion world records a few months ago, but the current record is probably the most significant – as further evidence of the giant strides in the development of DDR5 technology, only about a year and a half after the world’s first DDR5 memories became available with a tested speed of 4,800MT/s.
With DDR5 memories with a verified speed of 8,000MT/s that will be available very soon from most of the manufacturers in the field, stated plans from the Team Group company to reach during this year XMP profiles with a speed of 9,000MT/s and of course the speed records that increased from 9,560MT/s to 11,136 MT/s within a few months – it is difficult to argue with the statement that the potential of the DDR5 generation has not yet reached its peak and has not yet been fully exhausted, when each new step that is revealed to us helps us understand why at ADATA we previously predicted speeds of up to 12,600MT/s within the new generation, Although at that point in time such performance seemed like a mere wild fantasy.
Who will be the first supplier to sell DDR5 modules in stores at a speed of 9,000MT/s, and who will be the first overclocker to cross the 12,000MT/s mark in a dedicated extreme setup? We hope to provide you with the answers to these questions as soon as possible.
