Recently we looked at the performance differential between DDR4 and DDR5 on Alder-Lake, Intels Gen 12th series processors. Today we review a G.Skill TridentZ5 6400 CL32 (!) DDR5 kit to see what the performance this uber-sweet memory kit brings.

What's the deal with testing ddr4 3200 cl36? wow. That timing is extremely loose. 3200cl14 would be much closer to those high-frequency ddr5 kits.

Thanks chief, great review.
So basically if I play QHD or 4k I should not give a crap about memory, just buy the best price/perf.

You are always gpu bound at high resolutions so memory and cpu matters little. Still you should give a crap

Thank you for this test.
This is the second test with the same outcome, 400-600€ memory kits are only worth it for overclock highscores.
There are going to be comment like: "you need to disable E-cores and overclock ringbus" "why not 7000? this is where the magic starts to happen" the timing comment already happened.

Just a small note, page 7 says "Memory DDR3 / DDR4 Read MB/sec".

Great article, very interesting!
