Last night, AMD officially announced its new generation of Ryzen processors, alongside the AM5 platform. These products will be launching in late September, and there will be AMD optimised DDR5 memory too, with Corsair being amongst the first to announce. 

Last night following AMD's event, Corsair announced the new Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 memory for AMD, as well as the new Vengeance RGB DDR5 for AMD. There will also be a non-RGB version of the Vengeance for AMD DDR5 kits.

These new memory kits will offer speeds up to 6000MT/s, but there is the promise of even faster modules in the future. All Corsair DDR5 for AMD kits offer AMD Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO), which allows you to get memory running at full speed with just a few clicks. All kits will be available in 1 or 2 DIMM sets, with capacities up to 64GB.

DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 for AMD remains as the flagship, packing Corsair's DHX cooling system, and 12 ultra-bright RGB Capellix LEDs. The Vengeance RGB DDR5 for AMD also has a new look, with a grey aluminium heat spreader and 10 individually lit ARGB LEDs.

The first Corsair DDR5 memory kits for AMD are available already, directly through Corsair's website.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on building a new PC powered by Ryzen 7000? Will you be going with Corsair DDR5 memory?

Memory vendors have been expanding their DDR5 memory line-ups, and TeamGroup is no exception. Alongside Computex this week, TeamGroup is launching two new T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 memory kits clocked at over 6,000MHz

The new T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 modules feature the same 120° wide-angle RGB heat spreader with customisable RGB, allowing users to match their system's lighting effects. Moreover, the modules' heatsink is made of an aluminium alloy and a “special cooling silicone” to increase cooling capacity and operating stability.

Both kits will comprise of two 16GB modules for a total of 32GB of memory. First, there's the 6,600MHz kit with a CL34 latency. The other kit comes in at 6,000MHz with a CL30 latency. Sample kits have been sent to motherboard vendors, so they can test them and add them to their motherboards' QVL list, if appropriate.

Both memory kits should be available worldwide starting in July.

KitGuru says: Are you planning to upgrade to a DDR5-compatible platform in the near future?

DDR5 is still relatively fresh on the scene but thankfully availability has now improved since its launch about half a year ago. With improved availability comes not only the chance to actually buy a kit, but also the ability to buy some higher-end, more boutique modules. That’s where G.SKILL’s Trident Z5 RGB 32GB set comes into play, with an impressive 6000MHz operating speed and CAS Latency of 36. 6GHz RGB DDR5 from G.SKILL – let’s take a closer look!

In terms of styling, G.SKILL has shifted the design slightly from the DDR4-era Trident Z. Now, we get a little more curved flow to the angles of the tri-fin, aluminium heatspreader instead of the sharp corners of DDR4 Trident Z.

G.SKILL sells the modules in matte black or metallic silver colour; we have the silver set which I think contrasts the black naming strip nicely.

I would describe the Trident Z5 module design as sensible, high-quality, and eye-catching. At around 45mm tall, module height is reasonable.

G.SKILL’s specs for the Trident Z5 RGB kit we have here are impressive. This is a DDR5 kit running at 6000MHz XMP 3.0 frequency, it’s a dual-channel 2x16GB 32GB set using single-rank modules, and the timings are 36-36-36-96 at 1.35V.

The set uses Samsung ICs according to CPU-Z. But unfortunately we can’t tell the exact IC model details as Thaiphoon Burner doesn’t seem to like our Z690 and DDR5 test system. You also get a thermal sensor to monitor module temperatures in software.

For reference, the actual model code of this Trident Z5 RGB kit is: F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5RS.

Pricing of the 6GHz G.SKILL kit is certainly hefty at a penny under £420 in the UK. This is very expensive for a 2x16GB set of DDR5 memory. As a comparison, the 5600C36 Dominator Platinum RGB competitor is around £100-120 cheaper at £300-320.

In fact, £420 for G.SKILL’s 32GB set is close to 64GB alternative kit money. Though, granted a comparable 64GB kit of something like Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB is closer to £500 with a notable speed reduction too.

Other 6000MHz kits set you back at least £380 when looking at equivalently premium levels. So G.SKILL is still notably more expensive, but an extra 10% for one premium RAM kit versus another is likely tolerable for this market segment.

For a better look at the G.SKILL kit's RGB lighting, check out our video review.

LED lighting is handled by eight RGB zones on top of the Trident Z5 RGB modules. This light then disperses through a plastic diffuser bar for a smooth and graduated colour gradient.

I personally loved the Trident Z RGB and Trident Z Royal modules of the DDR4 era and I think G.SKILL does a superb job to make the DDR5 Trident Z RGB to look just as good, particularly with the smoothness of that LED light diffusion bar.

In terms of RGB management, G.SKILL offer their own lighting control software. It is actually reasonably comprehensive and allows individual control of the 8 LED zones. You can select a few different modes and then settings such as speed and brightness.

You will probably want to use motherboard vendor software for control and sync to match other components. That can be done through the individual tools which are: ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

Looking at CPU-Z, we see notation of the Samsung memory ICs used. But with the incompatibilities of Thaiphoon Burner, it is difficult to tell exactly which Samsung ICs are used.

  • Model Number: F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5RS
  • Capacity: 32GB (2x 16GB)
  • Rated Frequency: DDR5-6000MHz
  • Rated Timings: 36-36-36-96
  • Voltage: 1.35V XMP 3.0

We've regularly seen G.Skill memory breaking overclocking records over the summer months. Last year, G.Skill memory was used to set 23 new overclocking records and this year, G.Skill has become the first DDR4 memory maker to surpass 6GHz speeds.

Taiwanese professional overclocker, ‘Toppc', used G.Skill Trident Z Royal and the MSI MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC motherboard paired with a Core i9-9900K. Using this setup, DDR4 memory speeds were pushed all the way up to 6016.8MHz, the fastest DDR4 speed ever recorded.

This milestone comes just a few months after Toppc broke the DDR4 speed world record at Computex, pushing G.Skill memory up to 5886MHz. HWBot and CPU-Z validation has been included in the screenshots above.

Tequila Huang, Corporate VP at G.Skill, said that “achieving DDR4-6000MHz has been our goal for quite some time, and we are extremely excited to be able to achieve this major milestone with MSI”.

Now we'll just have to wait and see what the next milestone is, particularly with Samsung now producing A-die memory instead of B-die.

KitGuru Says: Another big milestone for G.Skill that pushes the boundaries of DDR4 even further. It will be interesting to see if this record can be broken in the months to come.
