G.SKILL Announces World's First Large Capacity 128GB (64GBx2) DDR5 Overclocked Memory Kit at DDR5-8000
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is thrilled to announce a new high-speed memory overclock DDR5 specification with an ultra-high kit capacity - DDR5-8000 CL44 with 128 GB (64 GB x2) kit capacity. This is the world's first DDR5 memory kit with 64 GB high-capacity modules to reach the extreme overclock level of DDR5-8000, setting a new milestone for high-performance computing, content creation, AI applications, and advanced workstation workloads.
New Era of Overclocking High-Capacity DDR5 64 GB Modules
Engineered for high-capacity overclocked performance, the DDR5-8000 128 GB (64 GB x2) combines ultra-high memory speed with massive memory kit capacity, surpassing the previous module capacity maximum at 48 GB per module. At last, power users and content creators who seek overclock performance memory for capacity-hungry applications will have the ideal DDR5 memory solution. Refer to the validation screenshot below to see DDR5-8000 CL44-58-58 128 GB (64 GB x2) tested on the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X desktop processor.
Extreme Speed DDR5-9000 CL48-64-64 64 GB (32 GB x2) Kit Specification
Dedicated to the continual development of extreme overclock performance memory kits, G.SKILL is also announcing an extreme-speed DDR5-9000 CL48-64-64 memory specification at 64 GB (32 GB x2) kit capacity. See the Memtest screenshot below to see this memory specification running on the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor.
"We are very excited to announce the world's first overclocked DDR5-8000 memory with a total kit capacity of 128 GB," says Frank Hung, Product Marketing at G.SKILL. "This is yet another milestone for DDR5 overclock performance that G.SKILL has successfully reached, surpassing all previous limits to demonstrate never before seen memory specifications."

Also, when you need that much amount of RAM, even the loosest of timings are still better than not having enough RAM, but having tighter timings.
Given the price history of the Royal Z series, I doubt that very many average-joe users will be able to justify the cost of these, at least at first anyways....but corporate IT depts will probably be all over it, and I know my techs will be foaming at the mouth for them....like they always do when new stuff comes out, but then again, they know the company has deeeep pockets, so there's that !
How can someone be sure that the CPU is going to support this kind of RAM?
Beyond that is rolling dice.
For speeds outside JEDEC standards, even motherboards that advertise support can play the "not on QVL" card when it goes south.
Having said that, I just buy mildly overclocked RAM, never heard an unpleasant surprise.
So, first you have to make sure that never happens for your needs. After that is solved, now you look at speeds that make sense. I usually check memory clock and timings scaling reviews to see where speed benefits flatten and it's pointless to buy faster RAM beyond that at stupid extra cost and no benefits just to have large number. For Ryzen 5000, sweetspot was between 3600 and 3800 MT, usually 3733. You could use 4000 MT for premium price and often lower performance. 3733 with tightest timings possible was ideal.
I've fallen a bit out of loop with DDR5, but I think all the same still applies.
The biggest thing I like about what I see is the 64GBX2 RAM in the ITX. I use a lot of CAD-based software; the first resource it jams on is the RAM. The more RAM, I have, allows me to use the software in way to enjoy large or small files sizes.
In this situation, I would get the RAM for the sake of 64GB X2, but I would have to slow it down to at least 6600 speed.
My first PC had 256 Kb (later expanded to 640) and you could turn it on and go read the newspaper, drink some coffee and have a smoke and come back before BIOS POST finished counting it. And that's not the end of it. I had an uncle working for the government at the time and they were still using older hardware with 8 Kb and they've been asking for an upgrade to 64 Kb for years. :laugh:
I was told these would me available in May, in my country.
EDIT: It looks like G-Skill as EOL those dimms. Regular Trident Z5 Neo are now gone and they've added new Trident Z5 Royal Neo's that increase the voltage from 1.40V to 1.45V. I guess they weren't getting the binning results that they wanted at 1.40 and had to make an adjustment, no doubt making these even more expansive.

Whenever you sacrifice capacity, you get to lower latency. That much been true since at least DDR1. But you don't see people running 1GB sticks anymore, imagine how low the latency would be on those these days.
