GeIL Preps Next Generation DDR5 RGB High-Performance Gaming Memory
Geil is proud to announce the next-generation DDR5 RGB high-performance gaming memory, Polaris RGB, is ready for the upcoming DDR5 platform. The GeIL Polaris RGB Gaming Memory will be available in Q4, 2021, with capacities ranging from 16 GB (16 GB x1) up to 128 GB (32 GB x4).
It has been seven years since DDR4 launched into the market, and GeIL has put countless hours into developing the new DDR5 memory modules. And in doing so, GeIL has designed the Polaris RGB to provide RGB illuminated high-performance DDR5 gaming memory and has been working closely with motherboard makers to guarantee the best compatibility and reliability among the latest Intel and AMD motherboards.
The GeIL Polaris RGB DDR5 Gaming Memory is designed to deliver unprecedented performance through larger capacities, enhanced speeds, and broader bandwidth per processor core. Increasing system performance and efficiency is the cornerstone of any new memory generation, and GeIL is dedicated to offering a better enthusiastic extension and exceptional overclocking potential to its customers. The new DDR5 memory incorporates the latest DDR5 PMIC (Power Management IC) architecture design for smart voltage and power management, allowing a more comprehensive range in voltage adjustment and tweaking. This embedded PMIC and module design are sure to boost the overall performance, stability, and overclocking potential dramatically.
The GeIL DDR5 memory specification starts at 4800 MHz with the sub-timing latencies of CL40-40-40 at 1.1 volts. The overclocking products are also under development, including 6000 MHz CL32-36-36, 6400 MHz CL32-36-36, 6800 MHz CL36-44-44, and 7200 MHz CL36-44-44, and will be available with non-RGB product versions at the same time.
GeIL has been the brand name representing gamers and computer hardware enthusiasts. The upcoming DDR5 memory is a culmination of that knowledge and is inviting gamers and hardcore users to look before the global market launch.

Is that the controller on the top there? It's going to make fitting big air coolers more difficult to get over that.

It's most likely the PMIC, judging by it's appearance. Voltage controls are moving from the motherboard and onto the ram sticks.

DDR3 lasted so long because up until we started seeing 8 cores in a dual-channel system, nothing really called for more bandwidth. Kind of ironic, considering Intel was the first to adopt DDR4 even though it would have been years later when they'd have really put it to good use. DDR4 didn't last long because it just isn't good enough for systems that are becoming increasingly SoC. I still have my doubts that DDR5 will be enough for upcoming iGPUs.

7 years of ddr4 so it lasted shorter than ddr3. It was late to the market.
