Although with a little bit of cheating, we’ve already been able to see 11GHz RAMThat is, the American SEBY9123, famous for such exploits, has achieved the fastest memory in the world. overclocking And surpassing the previous record, which was also achieved thanks to this “trick”.
For now we cannot say that we have achieved RAM memory at that speed, but it shows that we are not far from going to market locally and safely with it.
Fastest RAM memory reaches 11 GHz
The record has been set by an expert user in overclocking, which isn’t the first time something like this has taken us by surprise. A is used i9-13900K processorone in motherboard with z790 chipset Wherein he had to activate only two processor cores at a speed of 2.2 GHz to avoid overheating and improve RAM performance, as well as disable the hyperthreading function. For overclocking they used a memory module G.Skill Z5 RGB DDR5And to maintain a high enough temperature throughout the process, they used liquid nitrogen, or LN2.
Actual frequency was DDR5 at 11,202 MHz With its compatible memory controller clocked at 5601 MHz. This figure is supported by both the memory modules and the controllers integrated into Intel or AMD CPUs currently.
So far previous world record DDR5 memory speed was 5567.5 MHz (11135 MT/s) by Hikuki. The difference is not huge because they are using techniques that squeeze the RAM 100%, something that a normal user cannot do because we usually do not have these characteristics or the components of liquid nitrogen, for example.
This makes us think that, with the current development of all components, we will soon see this record broken again.
Samsung has already told us about its 36Gbps GDDR7So, sooner rather than later we will see a new leap in speed and quality in RAM memory, enabling these users to break records again in a more prominent way. For now we await the new data with curiosity, who will be the next to beat it? Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, I don’t know whether we will be able to take advantage of so much power, however they always surprise us with new uses.
Will we reach this speed in commercial products?
As we always say, records achieved by overclocking have little to do with it, after all, 99.9% of users have our home PCs; However, if memory manufacturers sponsor these competitions, it is because they are interested in seeing how far their products can go under the right conditions, and from there they seek to “stretch” their performance into commercial products. can try.
But answering the question, it will be difficult to find such a fast RAM memory in the short and medium term, although it is true that in the future and especially in later generations of RAM memory, it is not an unattainable figure; After all, with DDR5 RAM we’re already seeing twice the speed compared to DDR4, so it won’t be unusual to see that when DDR6 arrives.
