The Trident Z Neo series, optimized for the new AMD Ryzen 5000 processors. Featuring ultra-high speeds of up to DDR4-4000 CL16-19-19-39 32 GB (16GBx2), extreme low latency at DDR4-3800 CL14-16-16-36 32 GB (16GBx2), and high-capacity kit at DDR4-4000 CL18-22-22-42 64 GB (32GBx2).
With the improvements of memory support on the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 processor series, the R&D team at G.SKILL is always looking to push the performance boundaries even further and have expanded the G.SKILL Trident Z Neo series with higher performance options, whether you're looking for extreme frequencies, high kit capacities, or extreme low latency. At high memory frequency speed, the Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 CL16-19-19-39 32 GB (16 GBx2) raises the memory speed support for AMD platforms to DDR4-4000 from the previous generation of processors. Built with high performance Samsung B-die components, this memory kit also features a low latency of CL16. Seen below, this memory specification can be seen running in 1:1 ratio on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero and MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard with the latest AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X processors.
For high kit capacity, the Trident Z Neo DDR4-4000 CL18-22-22-42 memory kit is available at an astounding 64 GB (32GBx2). As seen in the screenshot below, this memory kit behemoth is running at 1:1 ratio on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero and the MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X processors.
Pushing the limits on extreme low latency, the Trident Z Neo DDR4-3800 CL14-16-16-36 32 GB (16GBx2) kit is the ultimate choice for high efficiency. Engineered with high performance Samsung B-die components, this kit can be seen in the screenshots below running at a ratio of 1:1 on the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor.
These ultra-speed, high-capacity, and extreme low latency memory kits will be available via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners at the end of November 2020. For a full list of released specifications, please see the table below.

Yeah the G.Skill RAM has been really good, not sure if going past 3800 is helping much for Ryzen 5000 but a bit of tuning might allow 1900-ish infinity fabric on capable motherboards with good CPU's and RAM.
(Plus factors like ranks and configuration, topology or how it was called and more that I'm way too unskilled about to have a good insight on.)
I like the lower latency 3800's wonder if they continue being well binned Samsung B die chips and if so how much tuning could be done but I guess once in the 14's to 16's primary timings it's not going to be much. Secondary or the other numbers a little bit perhaps and keeping the RAM speeds either around 3600 or 3733 for the 1:1 and infinity fabric at 1800 or maybe that too can be tweaked a bit more now.

There's usually a non-RGB LED variant too I believe even if this is the age of everything must have LED's and full range fully configurable too. :p
EDIT: Should read up on that a bit more, also more about the various memory chips since Samsung B's and Micron E's seem pretty comparable aside from extreme tuning and there's a bit of a price tag difference.
Plus the ideal and maximum for Ryzen 5000 here and the Zen 3's but I don't expect it to differ that much from what I've heard thus far.
Guess that's going to be the next thing with DDR5 and what AMD can do here plus improvements on a similar level of Zen2 -> Zen3 or more.

Good RAM, got em myself. Unfortunately, I fear these will be quite expensive.

I wish i could get a sense on how long till these are released in Canada - to the point that a person can actually purchase them from a retailer
