G.SKILL Achieves Dual-Channel DDR4-5000MHz MemorySpeed on Air-Cooling
G.SKILL is proud to announce that we achieved DDR4-5GHz overclocking speed in dual channel memory configuration under air cooling. This achievement shows our future target of bringing such extreme speed to retail specification.
Taipei, Taiwan (28 March 2018) – G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is excited to announce the achievement of an unprecedented DDR4-5000MHz memory in dual-channels. This major breakthrough is the world’s first instance of two DDR4 RGB memory modules breaking the DDR4-5000MHz barrier on just air cooling, when considering that this world-record class speed was only achievable under extreme liquid nitrogen cooling just two years ago. This massive technological feat is achieved with the high performance Samsung DDR4 B-die ICs, and running on the MSI Z370I GAMING PRO CARBON AC motherboard and the Intel® Core™ i7-8700K processor.
World’s First Dual-Channel DDR4-5000MHz Achieved on Air-Cooling
This in-development memory speed marks the first time in history that a pair of air-cooled RGB memory achieving the legendary speed of DDR4-5000MHz. While DDR4-5000MHz memory kits aren’t yet ready to hit retail stores, G.SKILL is taking major leaps in developing much faster memory speeds and demonstrating the brand’s unwavering dedication to continually push DDR4 memory performance into the absolute extremes.
“Previously, the 5GHz memory speed is only achievable in extreme overclocking and in single-channel. We’re excited to share that we’ve been able to achieve the 5GHz memory speed in not only air-cooling conditions, but also in dual-channels. This is a major milestone for us,” says Tequila Huang, Corporate Vice President, G.SKILL International. “We will make every effort to bring this specification onto the consumer market, and bring the experience of extreme performance to worldwide users.”

Dual channel... yawn
The big thing here is the memory controller and if the CPU can do dual channel 5GHz, not the DIMMs imho.

First thing that came to my mind too before checking which mobo they used for that.
Well of course air-cooling. No one cools their RAM with water
I guess no one told this guy.. :p

If only this was quad channel and worked with my X399 mobo and 1950X combo or for others that have any Ryzen based CPUs.
I wonder if this speed will hit quad channel and Ryzen CPUs this year? Maybe when the new refreshes hit the street?!
Anyways that is pretty insane! Cool.
