G.Skill Reaches DDR4-5000 with Trident Z
The numbers keep going up with G.Skill, they announce the world's first DDR4 memory overclocking record to break past the mind-blowing 5GHz barrier, achieved with G.SKILL Trident Z Series DDR4 memory engineered with Samsung ICs and the MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC motherboard.
With this achievement in the official record books, the world's top 7 memory frequency records are now dominated by G.SKILL memory. Surpassing the 5GHz frequency speed barrier had been the ultimate aspiration of the memory overclocking community since the last year's launch of the Intel Skylake platform. This historic milestone is finally succeeded today by the renowned Taiwanese overclocking legend, Toppc, under liquid nitrogen cooling. "We are extremely excited to achieve this great milestone together with Samsung components and MSI motherboard," says Tequila Huang, Corporate Vice President and Director of R&D, G.SKILL International. "We will continually push hardware performance to the limits and provide enthusiasts with even more advanced products."

Memory with faster clock-speed offsets issues with timing, of course it depends to an extent but with speeds like that I wouldn't be overly concerned. Depending on what you're doing and the platform, that sort of speed can be a benefit. Obviously we're not just talking about gaming in this scenario.
As for what the point of it is? What's the point of advancement at all? Why not just stop pushing boundaries?
I see thread after thread like this, where people usually take the piss. That it's worthless, so why bother? Remind me again, am I on a tech enthusiast website?
