Gigabyte Breaks World Record for DDR5 Memory Speed
A new peak in memory technology has been reached. Gigabyte has broken a world record by reaching 12,752 MT/s for DDR5 memory speed. This incredible feat was achieved with the company’s Z890 AORUS Tachyon Ice motherboard and liquid nitrogen cooling system. The memory used during the record attempt was the V-COLOR Manta Xfinity RGB model. This attempt was carried out with extreme overclocking methods, and special settings were applied to the processor and memory.
Gigabyte and World Record Details
The record attempt by Gigabyte pushed memory performance to the limit. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor used in the attempt was run with only two active cores and at 420 MHz in order not to limit the memory frequency. This special configuration was designed to push the memory speed to the highest level possible.
The memory module was cooled to -196°C with liquid nitrogen cooling, ensuring stable operation of such a high frequency. Only one DIMM module (24GB capacity) was used during the record attempt, and the latency values were set to 68-127-127-127-2T.
This record once again demonstrated the performance potential of DDR5 memory. It is seen that memory speeds can reach these levels, especially with the contribution of CUDIMM technology. Gigabyte’s success indicates that faster and more efficient DDR5 memory can be developed in the future.
However, such extreme overclocking attempts are not suitable for daily use. Special cooling methods such as liquid nitrogen and operating the processor at low capacity show that this record is only experimental.
