G.SKILL Reveals World's First Large Capacity 256 GB (64 GB x4) DDR5 U-DIMM Memory at DDR5-6000 CL32 Overclocked Speed
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is thrilled to unveil DDR5 memory with an ultra-high kit capacity of 256 GB (64 GB x4), overclocked to DDR5-6000 CL32. Built with high-performance SK hynix DDR5 ICs, this overclock memory speed and timing pushes the boundaries of memory overclocking by fully loading 4 modules of high-capacity DDR5 64 GB U-DIMM modules on a single system; marking a new milestone for high-performance computing, content creation, AI applications, and advanced workstation workloads.
Overclocked, Ultra-Capacity 256 GB (64 GB x4) at DDR5-6000 CL32 In content creation and recent advancements in AI, the need for higher DRAM capacity is essential. Whether calculating large language models or working with complex or high-resolution video content, high-speed memory of high-density 64 GB modules would help to provide a smoother and more efficient workflow. Loaded with AMD EXPO memory overclock profiles, see the DDR5-6000 CL32 256 GB (64 GB x4) kit being stress-tested in the screenshots below on the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor, as well as on the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X desktop processor.

Through extensive research and development, G.SKILL memory also demonstrates the overclock potential and limits of ultra-high capacity 64 GB memory modules. Combining 4 of these high-density 64 GB modules for a total of 256 GB, the following screenshot shows this massive capacity kit operating at DDR5-7000 CL38-50-50 on the MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard and AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor.
Additionally, the massive kit capacity of 256 GB is showcased in low latency DDR5-6400 CL32 in the screenshots below, on the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D desktop processor and the MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor

I'm personally using a 4x64GB CUDIMM set from Kingston with my 9950x.

Bought mine from provantage as soon as they became available.
I posted a bit about some tests I did in this other thread:Those Crucial kits have been available on Amazon for quite some time now:

DRAM is less when you only use the graphic card from the processor, e.g. 7600X
I think I had reserved 8GiB or maybe even 16GiB DRAM to the 7600x for grahics in year 2023 when I was testing the gaming capabilities because i sold the junk MSI radeon 6800 z trio.
HMB - dram less cheap entry m2 nvme will also take up a bit of your dram.
People who use tmpfs filesystem store their files in DRAM. I use tmpfs for many years

AM5 is a consumer platform. For professional consumers you have to buy threadripper or amd milan. I highly recommend to get a server mainboard and one of those 7850€ processors. Of course you will need two of those processors, DRAM, Power supply unit, a case and fancy RGB. Kinda affordable but the way to go for more lanes. (AM5 is already too expensive on the mainboard area.)
Professional sure. I have a SQM Data Lake running on Oracle in-memory database server with 1.5 TB of ECC memory. Serves 350 concurrent users with < 2sec application response time.
This is an enthusiast website. Half the stuff we buy we don't need.
Most server CPU's cap out at 2 ~ 3 Ghz while some server applications have simply more benefit with faster cores rather then a zillion of cores.
Lots of threading done on servers is still single threaded; take for example Mysql - large databases benefit a lot better from faster CPU's then 64 or more cores in my opinion.
256GB in a server is very common - you can cache so many things and speed up stuff so hard.
