G.Skill Introduces 128 GB DDR5 Overclocked Memory: Trident Z5 NEO RGB Reaches 8400 MT/s with CL44 Latency

G. Skill has officially introduced its latest innovation: the Trident Z5 NEO RGB DDR5 memory module, capable of achieving incredible overclocking speeds of up to 8400 MT/s, all while maintaining an impressive 128 GB capacity.

Record-Breaking Performance: Trident Z5 NEO RGB Reaches 8400 MT/s at CL44

In the fast-paced world of high-performance RAM, G. Skill continually raises the bar by launching faster DDR5 memory modules. Following their remarkable successes with single-module speeds, the company is now pushing the boundaries of higher frequencies on larger-capacity kits. Their latest offering, the Trident Z5 NEO RGB, boasts a colossal 128 GB capacity and achieves a jaw-dropping speed of 8400 MT/s.

G. Skill’s advancements in delivering such high speeds in larger memory sizes (beyond the conventional 24 GB and 32 GB modules) are praiseworthy. Given the challenges associated with reaching speeds over 8000 MT/s in dual DIMM configurations, the Trident Z5 NEO RGB is a notable accomplishment. This kit is particularly suitable for professionals who require swift performance for demanding tasks.

What makes this achievement even more notable is that it was accomplished on an AM5 motherboard. G.Skill utilized the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E APEX motherboard, paired with the powerful Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor from AMD’s Zen 5 lineup. This combination ensured that the memory kit could be utilized to its fullest potential while maintaining decent timings, achieving 8400 MT/s with the timings set at CL44-58-58-94—impressive for a configuration of this size.

This extreme overclock achievement showcases G. SKILL’s continued advancement in pushing DDR5 memory to new limits. While high-frequency memory kits have traditionally been limited to lower module capacities, this latest demonstration illustrates that enthusiasts and professionals can now harness both blazing-fast speeds and massive memory capacity in a single kit. It serves as an ideal option for AI model development, high-resolution content creation, machine learning, and other professional workloads that require both substantial memory pools and rapid data transfer speeds.

The stability of this memory kit at an unprecedented 8400 MT/s has been thoroughly validated through RunMemtestPro tests. Notably, G. Skill previously achieved 8000 MT/s with a 128 GB Trident Z5 Royal kit, making the recent 400 MT/s increase in speed—while keeping the same latency—remarkable.

On a related note, just ten days ago, G. Skill announced the world’s first 256 GB memory kit capable of running at 6000 MT/s with CL32 latency. Meanwhile, competitors like V-Color are also breaking records in DDR5 overclocking. It’s clear that an increasing number of RAM manufacturers are shifting their focus towards the AM5 platform, especially after introducing high-speed DIMMs for the Z890 chipset.
