G.Skill announces new high-capacity and low-latency RAM kits

A relatively well-known player in the performance memory business, G.Skill is now gearing up to launch two kit options that cater to gamers and productivity users respectively. It is releasing a high-density, high-performance kit and a low-latency kit made with gamers in mind.

The two memory kits are available in the following trims:

• DDR5-6800 CL32-42-42 96GB (2 x 48G)
• DDR5-6400 CL28-39-39 32GB (2 x 16G)

While the 96GB kit offers a higher clock speed, being rated for 6800 MT/s while leveraging high-density memory modules to offer a large amount of memory to fulfill the needs of enthusiasts and power users, the lower latency kit clocks in at a respectable 6400 MT/s but dips to a CAS latency of just 28, making it ideal for gaming and similar tasks where lower latencies are more important than higher clocks and capacities.

XMP3 compatible out of the box

These memory kits are compatible with Intel's XMP3.0 standard with memory overclocking profiles available onboard. The high-density kit is available in a 96GB configuration (48G x 2) but is also accompanied by 32GB (16G x 2), 48GB (24G x 2), and 64GB (32G x 2) offerings. However, the low latency kit only comes in a singular 32GB trim (16G x 2), which seems to be the sweet spot for gaming in early 2025. Both enthusiast-grade memory kits have apparently been tested and validated on Intel's Z790 and Z890 motherboards, specifically the Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero (LGA 1700) and Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Hero (LGA 1851).

Availability, memory trims and more

The newly announced memory modules belong to G.Skill's high-end Trident Z5 Royal, mid-range Trident Z5 RGB, and entry-level Ripjaws M5 RGB series. G.Skill is expected to have these available with international distribution partners starting March 2025.
