G.SKILL today announced the release of two new high-performance DDR5 memory kits, including the world’s first 128GB (2x64GB) DDR5-8000 kit and a 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-9000 kit. These new kits target enthusiasts and power users who require high-capacity and high-speed memory for next-generation desktop platforms from both AMD and Intel.
The 128GB DDR5-8000 kit is notable for being the first to use dual 64GB modules operating at this frequency. The memory kit is rated at DDR5-8000 with latency timings of CL44-58-58. According to G.SKILL, this configuration has been validated on the AMD X870 chipset using the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E APEX motherboard and paired with the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. The kit supports AMD EXPO memory overclocking profiles, enabling easier setup and tuning for compatible AMD systems.
G.SKILL has provided burn-in validation results showing the 128GB kit operating under extended stress testing, which demonstrates stability at the rated speeds. This level of performance is typically used in content creation, heavy multitasking, and workstation-level workloads where large memory capacity and bandwidth can improve overall system responsiveness.
Alongside the 128GB kit, G.SKILL also introduced a new 64GB DDR5-9000 memory kit made up of two 32GB modules. This kit is rated at DDR5-9000 with latency timings of CL48-64-64. Each 32GB module is constructed from high-quality ICs and is designed to push performance boundaries on Intel platforms.
The DDR5-9000 kit has been tested on Intel’s upcoming Z890 chipset, using the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard in combination with the Core Ultra 7 265K processor. It also supports Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, allowing for automatic configuration of the memory settings in the BIOS for optimized performance.
Both memory kits are part of G.SKILL’s continued effort to deliver cutting-edge memory solutions for users looking to take advantage of the latest desktop platforms. The introduction of a 64GB module at DDR5-8000 represents a significant development in memory density and speed, as most high-frequency kits until now have been limited to lower capacities.
G.SKILL has not yet disclosed pricing or release dates for these kits, but they are expected to become available alongside the launch of AMD’s X870 and Intel’s Z890 platforms. As DDR5 adoption continues to grow, these new offerings provide additional options for users looking to maximize both speed and capacity in high-end systems.
