Overclocker breaks DDR5 world record with 12572MT/s

The relentless pursuit of memory overclocking records has witnessed another milestone. Renowned overclocker HiCookie achieved a new DDR5 world record, pushing the boundaries of memory speed to an astounding 12,752 MT/s (DDR5-12752).

This feat was achieved using the Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Tachyon Ice motherboard, a 24 GB V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5 memory stick (68-127-127-127-2T timings) cooled with liquid nitrogen, and an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU running with only two cores (without HT) at 420 MHz. The validations at CPU-Z and HWBOT cement HiCookie's position at the pinnacle of memory frequency overclocking, at least for now.

The memory speed record has been a fiercely contested arena in recent months, with numerous overclockers fighting for the top spot. The proximity of Splave's second-place achievement, reaching DDR5-12735, shows how competitive this pursuit has become, so we wouldn't be surprised if someone breaks the newly set record soon.

KitGuru says: Seeing how often the DDR5 memory speed world record has been shattered in the last couple of years, how long will this one last? Do you think we'll soon see someone breaking the DDR5-13000 barrier?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
