Review: Geil Polaris RGB DDR5 8000 CL38 2x16 GB
Meet the Geil Evo V DDR5 memory kit, consisting of two 16 GB modules with a frequency of 6200 MHz and CL34 latency. What are the main differences vs. Evo V? Mainly, the design of a radiator and the lack of two fans used for active cooling of the modules. This time, we will review Geil’s second series, Polaris RGB (there’s also a “regular” Polaris without the lighting), with an astonishing frequency of 8000 MHz.
Read the review here.

"Geil" may be a perfect German description of their kit.

I am stunned at the pace with which DDR5 is gaining faster and faster models, much faster than DDR4.
It took over 8 years for DDR4 to advance from basic 2133 kits to the fastest and most rare 4600+
DDR5 is already hitting the number "10000" at the top-end, with acceptable priced kits easily at 7200+ (which is equivalent in real clocks to DDR4 3600)
I'm pretty sure the best binned overclocker memory will reach 12000 or higher before DDR5 is replaced by something else.

Great speed but these DDR5 latencies are still to high, maybe in a year or two this will also be fixed.

Actually, no.
CL38 at 8000 means same latency as CL19 for DDR4-4000, which is almost exactly to what high-end modules have (usually CL18 or 19 at that speed, with some very expensive ones doing CL16)
