Gigabyte is preparing 7400 MHz DDR5 memories!
Like other manufacturers
Via its official website, Gigabyte revealed, possibly by mistake, various upcoming DDR5 RAMs that have yet to be officially announced. The remarkable thing is that in this unorthodox way we learned that various new modules with lightning transfer speeds are just around the corner. Specifically, on the company’s website memories of 7000 MT/s, 7200 MT/s and 7400 MT/s were found from various brands, such as Gigabyte’s own Aorus brand and more.
Going into details, the models in question were spotted on the support section of the Z790 Aorus Master motherboard page, one of Gigabyte’s flagship offerings for Intel’s 13th generation processors, which will support DDR5-6800 CL34, DDR5-7000 CL32, DDR5-7200 CL34 and DDR5-7400 CL34 memories from Adata , Corsair, Aorus and Kingston .
These models, being extremely high frequency, also require high voltages, such as 1.4V, 1.45V and 1.5V. This means that they are aimed at high-end systems with good motherboards. This is an overvoltage of the order of 27% to 36% compared to the JEDEC standard, which we do not know how it will affect the life cycle of the memories themselves, but also of the Intel memory controller. Finally, all modules also have XMP 3.0 overclocking profiles.
At this point it is worth mentioning that Intel’s 13th generation Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processors seem to do very well with memory overclocking, hence the appearance of DDR5-7000+ modules from many manufacturers . For now, no company has officially revealed their models, with the exception of TeamGroup which announced a few hours ago a 32GB DDR5-7200 CL34 dual-channel kit.
