It seems they've reached a new level with this frequency. Also the latency isn't too bad, considering DDR4 sticks go upto 18. I'd love to see benchmarks of this RAM.

This kit should be marvellous for my future Zen build.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.......call me when ddr 7200 arrives

You mean DDR5.

Ram density is to low for my preference, but otherwise that's a solid kit of ram.

Perhaps this is veering off topic, but I've heard that the way that Windows handles graphics card memory, it's best to have more than twice as much RAM as you have VRAM. If this is true, 16GB would be a bit low for the next gen graphics cards coming out, wouldn't it? Especially if you are looking at GP100 (16-32GB VRAM).

I wish I could recall. It was mentioned somewhere right around when the Titan X came out. It didn't have anything to do with me at the time, so I didn't pay it much mind, but someone suggested that ideally you'd have 3x as much RAM as VRAM, making its 12GB of VRAM problematic to fully utilize for most people. I guess it has something to do with Windows keeping copies of various things in RAM which is also stored in VRAM. I'd be glad if someone more knowledgeable about this could clarify, since I haven't been able to find anything concrete on the subject with a few google searches this morning (though I did find some mention of storing copies of VRAM contents in RAM, just without adequate details).

Hmmmm, I have been seeing a lot of "articles" about fast DDR4 but no benchmarks here.
Are those articles just ads?

You nay-sayers have no panache:

Im packing 64 GB of the 3000 version variant:




You plebs probably dont even wear suits when leaving the house....

Maybe in the future, there will be HBM Memory into the CPU...
Maybe the future ZEN will have HBM...

I'm not sure what your beef is here, friend.

First, many of these are just news announcements. We're telling you that these things exist and placing the announcements in context. How is that an ad?

Second, yes, we have benchmarks:
