A couple of weeks ago, G.Skill teased that its first 8GHz DDR5 memory kits were almost ready for launch. Today, that exact kit is launching, pushing the high-end of consumer DDR5 memory to new heights.

Following on from G.Skill's new 7800MHz kits, the company has now unveiled its Trident Z5 DDR5-8000 32GB kit, containing two 16GB sticks of DDR5 memory capable of 8000MHz speeds. This kit was validated on a system using an Intel Core i9-13900K processor and an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard.

The new kit is capable of reaching memory bandwidth read speeds of over 124GB/s and write speeds of over 120GB/s in the AIDA64 memory benchmark.

This isn't the only big announcement G.Skill has in store for us today though. G.Skill Trident Z5 memory has also been used to achieve DDR5-10000 speeds just using air cooling. This was also achieved on a system featuring an Intel Core i9-13900K and a ROG Z790 Apex motherboard.

KitGuru Says: DDR5 memory is getting very fast. Do you think we'll eventually see consumer DDR5-10000 modules?
