G.Talent on Tuesday launched its ultra-low-latency DDR5-6400 reminiscence modules that function a CAS latency of 30 clocks, which seems to be the business’s most aggressive timings but for DDR5-6400 sticks. The modules might be obtainable for each AMD and Intel CPU-based techniques.
With each new technology of DDR reminiscence comes a rise in information switch charges and an extension of relative latencies. Whereas for the overwhelming majority of purposes, the elevated bandwidth offsets the efficiency influence of upper timings, there are purposes that favor low latencies. Nonetheless, shrinking latencies is usually tougher than growing information switch charges, which is why low-latency modules are uncommon.
Nonetheless, G.Talent has apparently managed to cherry-pick sufficient DDR5 reminiscence chips and construct applicable printed circuit boards to provide DDR5-6400 modules with CL30 timings, that are considerably decrease than the CL46 timings really useful by JEDEC for this velocity bin. Which means that whereas JEDEC-standard modules have an absolute latency of 14.375 ns, G.Talent’s modules can boast a latency of simply 9.375 ns – an roughly 35% lower.
G.Talent’s DDR5-6400 CL30 39-39-102 modules have a capability of 16 GB and might be obtainable in 32 GB dual-channel kits, although the corporate doesn’t disclose voltages, that are doubtless significantly larger than these standardized by JEDEC.
The corporate plans to make its DDR5-6400 modules obtainable each for AMD techniques with EXPO profiles (Trident Z5 Neo RGB and Trident Z5 Royal Neo) and for Intel-powered PCs with XMP 3.0 profiles (Trident Z5 RGB and Trident Z5 Royal). For AMD AM5 techniques which have a sensible limitation of 6000 MT/s – 6400 MT/s for DDR5 reminiscence (as that is roughly as quick as AMD’s Infinity Cloth can function at with a 1:1 ratio), the brand new modules might be notably helpful for AMD’s Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 9000-series processors.
G.Talent notes that since its modules are non-standard, they won’t work with all techniques however will function on high-end motherboards with correctly cooled CPUs.
The brand new ultra-low-latency reminiscence kits might be obtainable worldwide from G.Talent’s companions beginning in late August 2024. The corporate didn’t disclose the pricing of those modules, however since we’re speaking about premium merchandise that boast distinctive specs, they’re prone to be priced accordingly.
