G.SKILL Releases Extreme Low Latency DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory Kit
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is delighted to announce the launch of an extremely low-latency, high-speed DDR5-6400 CL32 32 GB (2x16 GB) memory kit under the Trident Z5 family memory series, designed for the latest 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors and Intel Z690 chipset motherboards.
Dedicated to developing ever-faster memory modules, G.SKILL is launching an ultra-low latency DDR5-6400 CL32-39-39-102 memory kit at 1.40 V with 32 GB (2x16 GB) kit capacity. Equipped with exceptionally tight timings, this extreme memory specification represents the next step of the Trident Z5 family flagship performance. The screenshot below shows this memory kit validated on the Intel Core i7-12700K processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard. The DDR5-6400 CL32 32 GB (2x16 GB) memory kits under the Trident Z5 and Trident Z5 RGB series is available now via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners.

Thank you G-Skill for confirming what everyone elase already knew.
Finally some decent modules. Hopefully they will bring prices down. 600$ for a 32GB kit is beyond ridiculous.
Any chance for some DDR5-7200@CL36 or, why not, my favorite, DDR5-8000@CL40 ??
is it Samsung again ?
(basically just matching pedestrian DDR4-3200 C16 for latency. 2017 called, and it wants its latency back!)
Yet, I lightly chuckled while reading "extreme low latency (...) CL32" - still remember my old DDR based on Wimbond BH6 that went as low as 299MHz 1,5-2-2-0. :)
DDR5 loses in some games that are latency dependent, and in those games, these sticks will probably still be slower than DDR4 3600 CL16 sticks. DDR5 6400 CL 32 is around ~10ns latency. DDR4 3600 CL16 ~8.88ns latency, for reference.
Right now the main downside of DDR5 is its cost.
Not many games are bandwidth-sensitive, most of them are latency-sensitive.
So from a latency perspective it'll match DDR4 3200 CL16
Realistically, the answer is "it's gonna be within margin of error. Here's CS:GO at 1080p where it just doesn't matter no matter what.
And in one of the most bandwidth-sensitive games out there (FarCry5) DDR4 with tighter timings is still very very strong:
By far the biggest factor in gaming performance is Gear1 vs Gear2. There's such a huge latency penalty for running in Gear2 that you would literally need DDR5-7200 CL32 just to match a relatively common DDR4-3600 kit in terms of latency.
1.4v for Hynix DDR5 is perfectly fine with a fan. I am more worried about the SA, TX and mem control voltages.
I also have a feeling 6800+ will need Gear 4 to work. I can't get past 6600 right now on the ASUS Hero. Haven't tried Gear 4 yet...hmm maybe I should.
$out of stock (excl. shipping and taxes)
Also, the 5g corona gives you vaccines and that man asking if you want a reciept is trying to steal your car security number through noseprint recognition.Are you suggesting that DDR5 designed to run at 1.4V will fail quickly because other DDR5 not designed for said voltage cant do it?DDR4 was built for 1.2V and there are multiple 1.6V kits out there that dont self immolate, so I think they'll be fine.It'll likely make more sense in 3-4 years, when games start using more RAM regularly. DDR4 didnt really become noticeable over DDR3 until fairly recently.
DDR4's consumer launch for Broadwell-E isn't something I remember having much trouble with, though in fairness Broadwell-E was mostly workstation builds that needed stability for rendering 24/7 so I probably used only 2133 JEDEC timings. Perhaps DDR4 not really being ready for prime-time is why Intel skipped Broadwell for their mainstream 1150 platform? It's odd that only two desktop chips came out and they were practically unattainable even at SI/OEM level.
