The Fastest G.Skill DDR4 SO-DIMM

Taiwanese memory maker G.Skill announces what it claims is the fastest DDR4 SODIMM yet-- the Ripjaw memory kit running at DDR4-4000MHz CL18-18-18-38 32GB (4x8GB) at 1.35V.

The kit narrowly beats last week's Corsair Vengeance DDR4 SODIMM offering, which achieved "super-tight CL19-23-23-45 timings at 1.35V." Built out of "rigorously hand-binned Samsung B-die DDR4 IC components," the G.Skill memory kit should be ideal for high performance systems by reducing data transfer latency.

Corsair Claims Memory Record

The Vengeance SODIMM DDR4 4000 32GB (4x8GB) is a record breaker, Corsair says-- aimed at high-performance gaming machines and boasting "super-tight CL19-23-23-45 timings at 1.35V."

The memory kits require DDR4 SODIMMs, and are designed for use on the high-end desktop Intel X299 motherboard platform in SFF and mini-ITX form factor. The 32GB kit comes in four 8GB modules built on eight-layer PCB, and Corsair says it is made using hand-sorted and extensively binned Samsung B-die ICs memory chips.

Rambus Claims Fully-Functional DDR5 DIMM

Memory maker Rambus announces what it says is an industry first-- a fully-functional DDR5 DIMM prototype, one capable of "the speeds required for the upcoming DDR5 standard."

"We are proud to provide an early path to adoption with the first working buffer chip prototype running at the anticipated performance of next-generation DDR5," the company says. "This demonstrates our continued dedication to be first to market and remaining on the leading edge of industry standards."

Standards association JEDEC still has to publish the standard for DDR5, but the memory technology should offer double the bandwidth and the density of DDR4, with improved channel efficiency and greater power efficiency. As such, DDR5 should reach data rates of up to 6.4Gbit/s and deliver a maximum of 51.2GBytes/s, up from the 3.2Gbit/s and 25.6GBytes/s of DDR4.
