Intel just launched its 14th Gen desktop CPUs, and G.SKILL has a launch of its own on the way to match. The new G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 has speeds of up to 8400 MT/s and will be available in a 48GB (2x24GB) configuration. G.SKILL often follows new CPU announcements and product announcements with its own memory refreshes, such as when the Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 was refreshed for AMD’s AM5 platform. The G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 memory kit has been validated on the Intel Core i9-14900K desktop processor and the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard. The memory kit has memory bandwidth speeds of 128.88GB/s read, 127.03GB/s write, and 123.83GB/s copy in the AIDA64 memory bandwidth benchmark. Exploring the extreme limits of memory overclocking potential on the latest platform, G.SKILL is also showcasing a DDR5 2x24GB memory kit at DDR5-8600 CL40-54-54-136. Shown in the screenshot below running on the Intel Core i9-14900K desktop processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard, this memory kit reaches an astonishing memory bandwidth score of 130.66GB/s read, 130.24GB/s write, and 126.31GB/s copy in the AIDA64 memory bandwidth test. The new DDR5-8400 memory kit comes with an Intel XMP 3.0 memory overclock profile, which allows users to easily overclock the memory kit by simply enabling the XMP overclock profile in the BIOS with a compatible motherboard and processor.
