Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake processors are finally out of the wild (check our review of the Core i9 12900K for more info). So the new iteration of memory can continue, DDR5, with their support. That means all the world records must be broken. A start is already in full force, when G.Skill got out the liquid nitrogen to make the process so hard that its memory drops to 3-10 704. That RAM is a low tenor, which is about 363,4 million t/s, thanks to the dDRdoublings. G.Skill obviously used their own RAM to set the record. This is not a single stick of its Trident Z5 DDR5 memory that is rated at DDR5-4800. That DDR5-8704 figure is just a leap from the official XMP 3.0 spec then. According to the official CPU-Z validation, CPU activity was fairly pedestrian. In case you want to know what other kit you were using, G.Skill worked here with Asus with a PC-based motherboard and an Intel Core i7 12700KF processor. Oh yes, with a whole lot of liquid nitrogen, or LN2, to keep the temperature to zero. However, it’s not exactly an excellent timing: the primary CAS Latency increased to 127 clocks to keep the record. This was all about hitting a super-high frequency, but not about making a silky smooth working environment. It remains obnoxious though. How long will it take for we to get ready to eat?
