G.SKILL Launches New DDR4-4600MHz Extreme PerformanceTrident Z Memory Kit
Well, apparantly 4200 Mhz is for pussies, as G.Skill just released DDR4-4600 Modules (!). Built with hand-selected, high-quality Samsung B-die IC components, this new addition to the flagship Trident Z series will be available in two color variations: silver aluminum body with white accent bar and black aluminum body with black accent bar.
Taipei, Taiwan (8 September 2017) – G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is excited to announce a new extreme speed DDR4 memory kits at DDR4-4600MHz CL19! Built with hand-selected, high-quality Samsung B-die IC components, this new addition to the flagship Trident Z series will be available in two color variations: silver aluminum body with white accent bar and black aluminum body with black accent bar.
Trident Z Series DDR4-4600MHz CL19-23-23-43 16GB (8GBx2)
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.

Ryzen seems to need low timings, so i doubt any of the higher MHZ kits with really loose timings will ever work on ryzen.
3200mhz at 14-14-14-34 seems to be the best for ryzen, and we probably wont see anything much better then that.

What is the price tag for these. (Small country maybe?) RAM prices are now so high, I'll have to sell my kidneys (yes both) and also probably neighbors also

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

"Now, designed for extreme speed dual-channel memory operation on the latest Intel® X299 high-end desktop platform"
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.

Well, I have 3200 memory in my system. I can't reach that speed. Initially it went only to 2133 reliably, with the latest BIOS 2666 has become the new stable limit. So how much sense do kits that are rated way higher make really ? Though I've heard that Ryzen based systems can usually get higher than Intel ones.

Motherboard BIOS bug? Corsair Vengance LPX is´nt Samsung B-Die (that´s the better compatibility for RYZEN rightnow), sell that memory and buy a B-Die

you can manual config to the higher settings, check for Memory Timmings on AIDA64

Chipset voltage would need an increase also I'd imagine.Sounds doable.

chipset? the memory controller is on the CPU, chipset just need overvolt when you Overclocks via baseclock

Would be interesting to see this on Ryzen since AMD tends to show better results with higher memory frequency... though i have no idea if it could even reach this, hear many struggle to get past 3200mhz let alone get to 4200/4600...
But would be interesting. On another note RAM is starting to hit the old speeds of GDDR5 now (DDR4 4600mhz vs GDDR5 5000mhz)
