G.Skill's New DDR4 Preps For X299 With Tighter Timings And Higher Capacities

G.Skill announced new high-speed DDR4 memory with tighter timings specifically designed for Intel's X-series processors and X299 chipset motherboards.

G.Skill’s DDR4-3600 8GB x 4 and 8GB x 8 kits remain unchanged at CL 16-16-16-36, but the company is now offering higher capacity 16GB x 4 and 16GB x 8 kits at CL 17-19-19-39 as well. G.Skill also outed new DDR4-3733 memory kits in  8GB x 4 and 8GB x 8 sizes at CL 17-17-17-37 and new 16GB x 4 and 16GB x 8 kits at CL 18-19-19-39. DDR4-3800 kits of the same sizes feature CL 18-18-18-38 and CL 19-19-19-39 timings, respectively.

The DDR4-4000 kit announced here seems to have higher timing and lower capacity than the kit we saw on display at Computex. This memory kit comes in 8GB x 4 and 8GB x 8 at 18-19-19-39 versus the 16GB x 2 at CL 17-18-18-38 DDR4-4000 on display in Taipei.

Finally, we have G.Skill’s DDR4-4200 running at CL 19-19-19-39 offered in 8GB x 8 kits only.  This compared to the DDR4-4200 8GB x 8 kits running at CL 19-21-21-41 at Computex.

With the exception of the 64GB DDR4-4200 kits, all DDR4 memory kits listed here will be available under the Trident Z RGB series and an all-new Trident Z Black series. It should also be noted that everything in the Trident Z and Trident Z RGB series operate at 1.35V except the new DDR4-4200 kit, which runs at 1.4V.  

Information on pricing and availability were not available at press time.

    I like how G.Skill's product matrix lists "Intel Core X-Series Processors & (Unnamed) X299 Platforms"...

    In other news, hopefully, Toms will report on the latest 1080p boost that Ryzen got in ROTR and Z-Brush.
