G.Skill Introduces the TridentX DDR3-3000 MHz 32 GB Kit
G.Skill’s new TridentX DDR3 32 GB memory kit is clocked at 3000 MHz and is fully compatible with Intel’s 4th Generation Core processors.
G.Skill has launched a series of ultra high speed memory for Intel’s 4th Generation Core processors, which includes the TridentX DDR3-3000 32 GB memory kit (4 x 8 GB) that has successfully passed Memtest pro with the low voltage of 1.65 V while being paired with an Intel i7-4770K processor and an Asus Maximus VI Extreme motherboard.
All G.Skill memory products come with a lifetime warranty and support from the company’s technical team via online forums, Facebook, telephone and email.

$1700 for 4x8GB kit.
Oh and $1700? That is FAR too expensive for RAM. Good look on the sales.
We are talking about DDR3 RAM here so a 3GHz clock would be 6GT/s or Gbps/pin. You were thinking about QDR signaling like GDDR5.
So that 3GT/s DDR3 RAM would be running on a 1.5GHz clock. That's already almost on par with the 3.2GT/s upper-range originally expected out of DDR4.
Those are only 2933. Not 3000. Still, though....price...ouch! No thanks. I'll stop at 2400.
I doubt they actually have separate SKUs for 2933 and 3000. Most likely a miscommunication somewhere - 2933 and 3000 are only 2% apart and it is extremely unlikely that 2933 parts would lack sufficient headroom to manage 3000.
The more likely explanation is that someone somewhere based their clock calculation on 133MHz base to come up with 2933 while someone else may have used 100MHz and ended up with 3000 as the nearest fit. Happens a lot when different CPUs derive their memory clocks from different base frequencies.
i'd rather buy a good gpu with the money i can save by getting a decent ram
Doesn't look like a typo.
Here's a link to the 2800GT/s variant, $1200:
