Chitche announced that its Trident Z5 memory set a new record for overclocking DDR5 memory at a frequency of 8888. It easily broke its own previous record and was a step towards the milestone in DDR5-10,000.
This recording was achieved lupin_no_musume overclocker using The Zhiqi Trident Z5 DDR5 memory. Paired with the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Apex motherboard and Intel Core i9-12900K processor, it ended up with a record-breaking result.
The end result easily exceeded the DDR5-8704 record set at the launch of the 12th Generation Core in early November. The record was also achieved by Chicky using a combination of his own memory and the Asus Z690 Apex motherboard.
This recording was obtained using liquid nitrogen cooling and does not represent the effect that can be achieved in real-world use. But don't be discouraged, another overclocking enthusiast used ten quan memory and ASRock's Z690 Aqua OC motherboard to achieve a good result of nearly DDR5-8000 in an air-cooled state.
Zhiqi previously demonstrated stable DDR5-7000 memory, undoubtedly using its best IC particles. Later this year, Chicky may launch a faster memory package. While the DDR5-8888 may seem like a long way off to go before it becomes practical, it is undoubtedly an important step towards the DDR5-10000 goal.
