DDR5-10000 memory is closer than ever after JEDEC, the managing body of the standard, extends the base DDR5 spec

Teamgroup T-Force Xtreem DDR5 memory installed in a motherboard.

The march towards DDR5-10000 continues. Although overclockers have already well and truly passed that mark, those kinds of speeds are all but out of reach without extreme cooling and you have the combination of top quality memory and a CPU with an equally good memory controller.

JEDEC is the body that defines and maintains the DDR5 memory specification. Now, news comes via Anandtech, revealing that JEDEC has extended the official specification from 6400 MT/s up to 8800 MT/s speeds. That doesn't mean you'll see DDR5-8800 support on current hardware, but it does point towards an improvement in next generation memory ICs.
