Previously, the speed of DDR4-4600MHz was only achievable under extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen cooling. Now, designed for extreme speed dual-channel memory operation on the latest Intel® X299 high-end desktop platform, G.SKILL is once again raising the limits on DDR4 memory speed to DDR4-4600MHz CL19-23-23-43 at 1.5V, with a total capacity of 16GB (8GBx2). The following stress test screenshot shows the new memory kit in action, validated with an Intel® Kaby Lake-X Core™ i7-7740X processor on the new ASRock X299 OC Formula motherboard:
This new high performance Trident Z kit is designed with Intel XMP 2.0 support, and the two variations of Trident Z DDR4-4600MHz memory kit are scheduled for release via G.SKILL authorized distribution partners at the end of September 2017.

Buy the most expensive RAM for the most expensive platform, and run it in... DUAL channel!

Not sure if timings are bad.
CL 19 may look worse than CL14, but if i remember good the latency is misured in clock cycle not in time.
Having a 19 at 4600 is still better or very similar to 14 at 3200, you are getting 1 third speed more, and 1 third latency more.

With 1/100 of performance increase compared to the 4400mhz at $277, probably $300 for 16gb at 4600mhz. Can buy a Ryzen 1700x for that amout.

No quad channel for those?
What is the point of advertising x299 if there is no quad support?
