G.Skill released a rather interesting press release. Since the launch of the Core Ultra 200K Plus, the company has developed new labels for its RAM. The goal is to clearly identify which kits include XMP profiles and which ones can reach 8000 MT/s using those profiles. Finally, we’ve learned that the company is validating frequencies of 10,000 MT/s, paving the way for a possible launch in the future.
G.Skill: heading toward 10,000 MT/s RAM?
With the Core Ultra 200K Plus, Intel improved RAM support, increasing it to 7200 MT/s. G.Skill, for its part, is taking this opportunity to better distinguish between these kits by using a new label that highlights kits featuring XMP 3.0 profiles. On the other hand, a distinction is made for those incorporating profiles capable of reaching frequencies of 8,000 MT/s on Core Ultra processors. This label bears the notation “Intel 200S Boost support.”It is more of marketing distinction regarding the frequency level that can be achieved than anything else.
But the real news in the press release concerns the validation of memory with a frequency reaching 10,000 MT/s. This frequency was achieved with a Core Ultra 7 270K Plus paired with an ASUS Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard. Clearly, such a configuration is not intended for the average consumer, but is clearly aimed at an elite audience, or even the overclocking community.
However, we can interpret this announcement as proof of technical validation. Extrapolating and being optimistic, one might even say that this paves the way for the release of future memory kits featuring XMP profiles capable of reaching such frequencies. But let’s not get too excited just yet; for now, the situation in the RAM market is tight, even though this is technically possible.
