Today, G.Skill has announced a new high-capacity addition to its Trident Z5 Neo RGB family, specifically designed for AMD's AM5 platform. G.Skill flaunts this offering as the world's first 256GB (64GBx4) UDIMM-based kit, achieving DDR5-6000 speeds at CL32 latency with AMD's EXPO technology. There's no word on pricing or availability, but we can expect to hear more from the manufacturer soon.
DDR5 setups are commonly equipped with two RAM sticks (DIMMs), and adding more, such as four DIMMs, increases the load on the memory controller and increases trace length, often leading to a significant reduction in the frequency while driving up latency. JEDEC standards (for the 9800X3D) suggest that using four DIMMs reduces DDR5 speeds to 3600 MT/s, compared to 5600 MT/s with two DIMMs.
