Ok, we all know power levels are bull. What isn’t fictitious though is the speed rating on the latest memory kits from G.SKILL. The new Trident Z and Ripjaws V modules are designed to work with the latest 6th generation Intel Core processors and Z170 motherboards… and they feature speed ratings of up to 4000MHz.
The Trident Z are the modules you want to look at if you want that speedy 4000MHz rating. These are G.SKILL’s successor to their high-end Trident memory modules, and are based on the DDR4 platform. The Trident Z modules have been fully tested on the new Skylake-S platform, which uses the newest Intel Z170 chipset.
The Ripjaws V modules are the more mainstream memory modules. G.SKILL is using a new head spreader design for the Ripjaws V series. They’re offering them in multiple colours, but this line will be your go-to for reliable mainstream performance RAM. Performance ratings for the Ripjaws V don’t quite reach as high, ranging from 2133MHz to a still high 3733MHz at ultra-low voltages.
No pricing has been announced, but G.SKILL did give us a nice graphic of what modules will be available. You can also check out the full press release for more info.
