G.SKILL delivers Low Latency CL16 4000MHz and 4400MHz DDR4 memory kits

G.SKILL has announced plans to create new Trident Z Royal, Trident Z RGB, and Ripjaws V series DDR4 memory kits which feature 16GB 4000MHz or 8GB 4400MHz modules with CL-16 timings. 

To maximise memory performance, both bandwidth and latency matter. High clock rates will increase the bandwidth available to systems, and low CL latencies will make memory modules more responsive to various PC workloads. Typically, there is a balancing act between memory speed and memory latency, but G.SKILL’s giving their customers a “best of both worlds” solution with their new CL16 4000MHz and 4400MHz memory kits. 

CL16 latencies are crazy fast for 4000 MHz DDR4 memory modules, a factor which will make these new modules from G.Skill incredibly expensive at launch. That said, the availability of these kits is a step towards more widespread availability for high-frequency, low latency DDR4 memory modules. 

With their 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-4000 CL16-19-19-39 memory kits, G.SKILL are offering modules which are ideal for content creators using Intel’s 10th Generation processors on their Z490 motherboard platform. These new memory kits have been validated on the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII EXTREME, MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS, and ASRock Z490 AQUA motherboards with intel’s Core i9-10900K, i7-10700K, and i5-10600K processors. 

For overclockers and hardware enthusiasts, G.SKILL has also created 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-4400 CL16-19-19-39 memory kits to deliver users higher data rates and lower latencies for those who are aiming for higher benchmark scores and more memory performance. The downsides of these kits are their low memory capacities, which will limit their usability for some users. 
 

 

With these new modules, G.Skill wants to deliver consumers the most performant memory on the market. That said, these modules will launch with prices that match their performance levels. High-end Samsung B-die memory comes at a cost, but this price will undoubtedly be worth paying for some consumers.
