G.SKILL Achieves DDR4 5189.2MHz and 12 Overclocking Records in 8 Benchmarks

[btarunr]

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is proud to announce that 12 overclocking records in 8 different benchmarks were broken during Computex week this year, including the world's fastest memory frequency world record at DDR4 5189.2 MHz.

Special thanks to the event sponsors Samsung, Intel, and NVIDIA, as well as the industry's leading performance motherboard vendors, including MSI, ASUS, EVGA, GIGABYTE, and ASRock, the G.SKILL 5th Annual OC World Record Stage brought together the world's most powerful PC hardware in one venue to demonstrate the bleeding edge limits of current technology. Over the course of the 5 days at Computex, multiple benchmarks records were pushed to the new extreme levels, using G.SKILL DDR4 memory built with Samsung ICs, Intel Core i7 processors, the latest NVIDIA GPU, and the newest Z170/X99 motherboards designed for extreme performance.



In addition to the most powerful computer hardware, G.SKILL 5th Annual OC World Record Stage featured the world's most skilled and reputable overclocking legends. Only with their sophisticated professional skills of BIOS tweaking, hardware modding, and temperature controlling via liquid nitrogen, the performance of each piece of hardware was able to unleash its maximum potential and achieved numerous world records within such a short period of time.

DDR4-5189.2MHz? Damn, so whats that? 4 FPS over DDR3-1600MHz?

Best RAM in the world.

Faster RAM is not just for gamers.

Gotta keep up with them daily Pi calculations right?

I guess it is more like +0.000 fps over ddr3... RAM was newer (and will never be) a bottleneck in gaming or everyday usage of PC... but in specific ram heavy computing there could be good preformance increase, but in most of the cases there still is SSD -> RAM -> SSD bottlenecks anyway (no matter if it is x4 m.2 - still slow as f) and only if one work with ramdisks that can be avoided.

People fail to realise that when you up the RAM freq so high you also need to up the CPU freq as well, and not only this. So yeah, the game performance increase is quite big.

LOL that was funny - but really, it might be big for future APUs. My a10-7860k scales up amazing in graphics when going from 1600 mhz to 2400 mhz and beyond. 4 years ago, I imagine people would of thought 3000 mhz would be useless. G. Skill is just way ahead of the industry.

Or G.skill is a master at binning. Really, how much time went it in binning the 5200ddr4 stick?. Which makes them 1000 dollars a stick?
