Adata passes 8,100 MT/s with overclocked XPG DDR5 memory
Yep an Intel Core i9-12900K processor coupled with a Z690 motherboard, which reached an 8,008 MT/s transfer rate with a Gigabyte memory kit.
While it is not yet possible for the general public to begin using DDR5 memory, the new memory standard is already breaking all kinds of speed records in the computer industry. Adata has taken it a step further, releasing overclocking results for ddr5 modules from their XPG gaming line of memory modules. It appears to be two different memory kits, despite the fact that both operate at the same standard speed of 4,800 MT/s. In terms of xmp 3.0 profiles, the first kit offers higher speeds of 6,400 MT/s at 1.35 volts, while the second kit offers higher speeds of 5,200 MT/s at 1.25 volts. In order to get an overclock of 8,117 MT/s with 50-50-50-160-210 timings, it is necessary to use the former. The remaining strips are quite near to each other, with a speed of 8,104 MT/s and timings of 52-52-96-148 on the other strips.
While this is the first time such speeds have been attained, the Taiwanese manufacturer promised modules with speeds ranging between 8,400 and 12,600 MT/s during the Xtreme Innovation event in August, which was held in September. However, it is not clear when or at what price these speedier memory sticks will be made accessible to the public.

And the thing is, that ddr5 will perform better than ddr4, but turning it up in voltage.

That's why I was saying performance-per-watt is what really matters. Doesn't matter if your CPU consumes 15W if it's slower than a Core2 Duo. Doesn't matter if your CPU consumes 400W if it outperforms a 256 core Epyc server. When it comes to gaming, just about any x86 desktop 8-core CPU made within the past 4 years will get you all the performance you'll need, so, just pick whichever one has the best performance-per-watt. And even then, most 6-cores will do just fine.

1.35v ?
Didn't they say more bandwidth at lower power consumption ?
6400MT/s @ 1.35v what will it take to go to those speeds where DDR5 finally makes sense ? 12800 @1.50v ??

AMD Fanboy: something about Latency, something about TDP, something about number of cores, something about nanometer...
Intel Fanboy: Higher fps.
Everyone is right

Other than latency, they're all stupid things to brag/argue about nowadays.
TDP (or more accurately, power consumption) matters, but only when comparing performance-per-watt.
doesnt matter for me unless I care about heating up during OC - and even then every CPU is different... It can have a nice TDP number on paper like my current 5950x but its burning hot during OC/load or have a terrible TDP number on paper like 11900k but has pretty nice temps during OC/load....
