G.SKILL today announced its ultra low-latency DDR5-6600 CL34 memory with CL34-40-40-105 timings, silver or black heat spreader, and a strip of RGB lighting on top. The kit comprises 2x 16 GB modules and is planned for release in May.
Press Release
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is pleased to announce the launch of an ultra-low latency, high-speed DDR5-6600 CL34 32GB (2x16GB) memory kit under the Trident Z5 RGB series DDR5 memory, for the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core desktop processors and Intel Z690 chipset motherboards.
Ultra Low-Latency DDR5 Performance Memory
Fully committed to develop extreme performance overclocking memory kits, G.SKILL is releasing a new ultra-low latency, high-speed DDR5-6600 CL34-40-40-105 memory kit in 32GB (2x16GB) kit capacity. The screenshot below shows this memory kit validated with the Intel Core i7-12700K processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard.
Availability
The DDR5-6600 CL34 32GB (2x16GB) memory kits under the Trident Z5 RGB series is expected to be available in May 2022 via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners.
Its pricing has not been confirmed, but DDR5 has begun seeing price drops. This kit should come at a higher premium due to finely tuned modules.

This feels like complete bs, the tech is there to in fact make a cpu with hbm, and a powerful gpu on it too in fact... All in one big multiple module packaging... I would bet my left nut, this wouldn't even be hard. Rd costs next to zero. Whatever it costs to produce, it is what it is. It will sell. It will sell period. Instead we will put up with crap memory modules and all kinds of weird gremlins. Ddr5 will be worth buying and all worked out in 2026. Intel will get it right in 2024 , AMD almost there in 2026.
That is, those that have motherboards designed to run memory at "higher" speeds, which at this stage is DDR5 6000+. They're also hand binning CPUs for better memory controllers as well as memory kits themselves, and in some cases also the motherboards. Not a cheap proposition.
All around, yes. We may not see higher DDR5 speeds stabilizing until Rocket Lake (13th gen), it may take the next round of motherboards (likely Z790), and it may take future bins of DDR5 too.
That all said, this stuff improves by the month with new BIOS releases.
