G.Skill introduces the first DDR5 kits with a CAS latency of less than 30 milliseconds.
G.Skill are excited to announce extremely low-latency DDR5 memory kit at DDR5-5600 CL28-34-34-89. It’s the first time to bring DDR5 XMP specification under CL30.
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is excited to announce an extremely low-latency DDR5 memory kit specification at DDR5-5600 CL28 in 64GB (32GBx2) and 32GB (16GBx2) kit capacities, under the Trident Z5 RGB, Trident Z5, and Ripjaws S5 series and designed for the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors and Intel® Z690 chipset motherboards.
Breaking the Sub-30 Latency Barrier on DDR5
With a focus on breaking the limits of low latency with DDR5 memory, G.SKILL is releasing an extremely low-latency sub-30 timing memory specification at DDR5-5600 CL28-34-34-89. Setting a new bar for low-latency timing performance, this memory specification with CL28 marks a new era of high-end DDR5 memory.
See the DDR5-5600 CL28 64GB (32GBx2) memory kit validated with the Intel® Core™ i7-12700K processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard in the screenshot below:
Availability & Specifications
The DDR5-5600 CL28 memory specification in 64GB (32GBx2) and 32GB (16GBx2) kit capacities will be available under the Trident Z5 RGB, Trident Z5, and Ripjaws S5 series in late May 2022 via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners. For detailed specifications, please refer to the table below:

Its going to be interesting to see where DDR5 is when Zen 4 gets here. AMD is promising interesting things when it comes to RAM overclocking, kind of hoping its not just hype.

Lol, an old hard-disk seeks in less than 15 milliseconds.
Did anyone actually read this title before it was published?

It's all nice but thhe cost is crazy,especially when late ddr4 is really good in terms of price to performance.
6400 c32 kits is where things start to get interesting and ddr4 is clrearly starting to fall behind.
now go check how much these are.
ddr5 is for enthuisiast rigs,no one who wants to get a 200-300eur cpu wants to have to drop 400 eur on memory.

I think there is an error. CAS is measured in cycles.
So the title should be "G.Skill introduces the first DDR5 kits with a CAS latency of less than 30 cycles"
But if we want that latency in time, 5600MTs at CAS 28, results in 10ns.
