Computex 2024: G.Skill shows off new DDR5-10600 memory and Project Alpha case

At Computex this week, we had the opportunity to catch up with the team at G.Skill. The company is well known for its high-speed and overclock-friendly memory modules, and that hasn't changed during the transition to DDR5, with 10,600MT/s memory now on the way. 

At a benchmarking station, we spotted the new G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal memory, running at 8200MT/s, compared with a system running G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5200 memory. For AI tasks, this demonstrated the value of running higher speed memory, with a significant 15% performance boost just coming from the memory.

If you thought DDR5-8200 was fast then just wait, as G.Skill also has DDR5-10600 on the way, a monstrous speed, especially for memory that is passively cooled.

As usual, G.Skill also had some wild modded systems on display here, including a demon skull with a split-open globe housing the PC hardware, an ED-209 style Mech PC and a liquid-cooled build with moving parts.

One of G.Skill's new prototypes is Project Alpha, a concept case with a distinctive shape. It offers a huge amount of space for hardware, but thanks to the materials being used, it should be lighter than many cases of this size, and there is a lot of room for airflow too.
