DDR5 scaling with G.Skill TridentZ5 6000 CL36 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/24/2021 11:40 AM [ 16 comment(s) ]

Recently we looked at the performance differential between DDR4 and DDR5 on Alder-Lake, Intels Gen 12th series processors. Today we review a G.Skill TridentZ5 6000 CL36 DDR5 kit and fire off frequencies to see what the performance sweet spot is.

Typo on page 6 cl 16 instead cl 36.

edit also page 7

I have this kit, and tweaked it's 52ns easy with 6000mhz. A few on OCN already running 6600mhz tweaked on this kit sub 50ns and 105GB+ bandwidth.

Ps: active cooling (fan) is required

I have so many questions as to how and why the ddr5 3200 cl36 can be faster than 5200 cl 40 in some situations.

Auto values on 2 and 3. Timings may change when changing frequence

Something seems wrong where most of the tests seemed to plateau despite some pretty major differences in frequency. It is possible (if not likely) that CPUs just don't need all the bandwidth of DDR5 though.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Any chance of doing iGPU RAM tests? Intel typically does a better job with VRAM than AMD but with modern high-res textures, I'm sure even DDR5 won't be fast enough. But only one way to find out!
