G.SKILL Pushes DDR4-4400 CL17 Memory Kits with High-Capacity 16GB Modules
G.Skill are excited to release a series of high-speed, low-latency memory kits, up to DDR4-4400 CL17-18-18-38 32GB (16GBx2).
G.SKILL is releasing new extreme-speed DDR4 memory kits that push 16GB and 8GB modules up to DDR4-4400 with a low latency of CL17-18-18-38 across the board, under the Trident Z Royal family. Upgrading specifications across all three fronts of memory frequency speed, module capacity, and low memory latency, these specifications are engineered with Samsung B-die ICs and designed for the latest Intel Z490 platform to achieve higher performance for gaming and content creation.
The High-Speed, Low-Latency Challenge with 16GBx2
As 32GB memory total capacity becomes the standard for gaming PC and performance PC builds, G.SKILL recognizes the importance of extreme performance 16GBx2 memory kit configurations. Rising to the challenge, G.SKILL has created the DDR4-4400 CL17-18-18-38 memory kit with 32GB (16GBx2) capacity under the Trident Z Royal family. See the memory kit stress testing on the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS motherboard with an Intel® Core™ i5-10600K processor in the screenshot below.
Achieving CL17 Low-Latency with DDR4-4400 8GBx2
At the same time, G.SKILL is also lowering the memory latency of 16GB (8GBx2) kits at DDR4-4400 to CL17-18-18-38. As seen in the screenshot below, the memory kit is validated on the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII FORMULA motherboard, based on the Intel Z490 chipset, with the Intel® Core™ i9-10900K processor.
These high-speed, low-latency Trident Z Royal memory specifications will be available via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners in Q3 2020.

Enter BIOS
Enable XMP
*new pop-up*
You lost the warranty of your CPU
There is no way for intel or amd to see if you used xmp in case you used it , so they can not deny it , all you have to do when they ask you if you used xmp is to say , what's xmp ? Except if .i....don't know, you feel is your duty to say yes .

For how long would we stay stuck with Samsung B-Die for enthusiast grade RAMs?
Seems like forever. I really hope someone could do better .
I will prefer cl12@3600 over these anyday
"All" b-die is pretty much the same. Just a small degree of binning. For people who want "stock XMP" this RAM is a good option. For people who like overclocking, just buy the cheapest b-die and overclock
For high frequency you'll need a cpu with good IMC, good MB like Asus Apex, and some cold air.
I've got the g.skill 4000c17 kit and g.skill 4000c15 kit. They do pretty much the same overclock. Team xtreem goes a bit higher, like Patriot viper. Looks like they got a better pcb for higher frequency.
So what cpu do you need higher speeds for, that b-die can't get?
PS: My 10900k does 4800c17 on Apex xii with b-die. 5000+ is benchmark doable.
