G.Skill pushes the limits of DDR5 with their new Trident Z5 CK CUDIMM modules

G.Skill launches their first DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules with Clock Drivers

Intel has launched their Core Ultra 200 series of CPUs (review here), and with it comes support for CUDIMM memory modules. Thanks to built-in clock drivers, these memory modules can more easily maintain higher memory clock speeds, with G.Skill launching CUDIMM modules with up to DDR5-9600 speeds. These modules are designed to push memory performance to new heights, and extend the boundaries of memory overclocking.

G.Skill has launched new Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series DDR5 memory modules. These memory kits feature speeds ranging from DDR5-8000 to DDR5-9600, with kit capacities of 2x24GB.

Below, we can see G.Skill’s DDR5-9000 Trident Z5 CK memory kit running at full speed with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU in Gear 2 mode. This enables an optimal blend of memory speed and memory latency with CL 42-56-56-144 timings.

For their highest-end DDR5-9600 kits, G.Skill have shown it running with an Ultra 7 CPU in Gear 4 mode. Gear 4 mode runs Intel’s CPU memory controller at lower speeds than Gear 2. This lowers certain aspects of memory performance help to achieve higher frequencies. With some added tinkering, G.Skill has been able to overclock these memory modules to DDR5-10000 speeds. G.Skill achieved this overclock in dual-channel mode on a ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard.

G.Skill expects their DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules to be available at retailers this month. Below you can see the launch specifications of G.Skill’s Trident Z5 CK DDR5 memory modules.
