DDR5 Reaches New Heights: AiMax Sets World Record at 13,211 MT/s
The pursuit of extreme DDR5 performance continues, with overclocker AiMax recently achieving a new world record memory frequency of 13,211 MT/s.The record, validated on HWBot and verified by CPU-Z, surpasses the previous mark of 13,153 MT/s held by Saltycroissant for nearly four days. This latest achievement demonstrates the ongoing potential for pushing DDR5 memory to its limits.
aimax’s record-breaking run utilized a GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, a 24GB Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 memory module, and an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor. The Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE has quickly become a favorite among top overclockers, consistently appearing in configurations achieving leading results, suggesting a notably effective design for memory overclocking.
While standard DDR5 already provides a important bandwidth increase over DDR4,benefitting modern multi-core processors,manual overclocking aims to further enhance performance. This is achieved by maximizing bandwidth and minimizing data access latency.
The benefits of this increased performance are felt across a range of applications. Gamers can experience smoother gameplay with more consistent frame rates and reduced lag. More substantially, memory-intensive professional workloads, such as video editing and Adobe Lightroom, can see substantial gains – possibly reaching double-digit percentage improvements – thanks to the increased data throughput provided by optimized DDR5. This translates to improved multitasking capabilities and a more responsive system when handling multiple demanding applications simultaneously.
This latest record underscores the continued innovation in DDR5 technology and the dedication of the overclocking community to unlocking its full potential.
