Today’s launch of AMD motherboards built around the X870E chipset prompted G.SKILL to report on the performance achieved with one of its Trident Z5 Royal NEO memory kits installed on a ROG Crosshair X870E HERO motherboard and an AMD 8700G processor. First and foremost, it’s important to know that the AMD Ryzen 8700G processor has excellent overclocking potential as far as memory is concerned, and therefore the possibility of reaching 9000 MT/s.
G.SKILL was able to run its kit, comprising two 24 GB memory sticks for a total of 48 GB, at 9000 MT/s with CL44-56-56 timings, all perfectly stable after a 4-hour RunMemtestPro 4 check. Regarding the voltage used, G.SKILL made no communication.
So it’s great news for AMD platforms to see memory kits reaching such high frequencies. For our part, we’re currently testing a copy of the G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal NEO 8000 MT/s CL38 kit, which we’ll be bringing you a full review of shortly. It remains to be seen whether kits with frequencies higher than 8000 MT/s will be released in the coming weeks, as only the Ryzen 8700G seems capable of exceeding 8400 MT/s.
