Maybe a gaming CPU can handle a DDR5-8800

Apparently the designated king of gaming CPUs, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D (“Granite Ridge-X”), which is expected to be introduced on October 25, can handle very high memory speeds of up to 8000 MT/s+. Like the first test of the site Wccftech Now documented, it's the Asus ROG Crosshair

As a screenshot from ZenTimings v1.32 shows, the two 16GB memory strips ran with the following technical specifications on the high-end motherboard in terms of MCLK and UCLK as well as FCLK, thanks to the use of Asus NitroPath DRAM 1:2 mode technology.

• 2 x 16GB UDIMM memory modules
• DDR5-8800 (“PC5-70400U”)
• CL40-50-50-125, 2T
• 1.54 volts

G.Skill's DDR5-8000 CL38-40-40-128 memory kit is rated at 1.45V standard and overclocked based on testing. While the memory clock (“MCLK”), which is actually the “input/output clock,” runs at 4400 MHz, the memory controller (“UCLK”) and infinite fabric (“FCLK”) run at a half-clock frequency of With a frequency of 2200 MHz. While the built-in memory controller (“IMC”) in Zen CPUs has not undergone any changes, the “refurbished” motherboards equipped with the X870(E) have new features to offer.

But even without the new CUDIMMs (“Uncached Dual Inline Memory Modules”), the Ryzen 9000 (“Granite Ridge”) and Ryzen 9000X3D (“Granite Ridge-X”) seem capable of delivering high memory clock frequencies if the memory array, The motherboard and memory controller play together. The new Intel Core Ultra 200S (“Arrow Lake-S”) series hybrid processors appear to be fast as well and can reach up to 9000 MT/s.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and its big brothers, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D, are expected to be introduced on October 25. While the 9800X3D will go on sale in November according to current rumours, the 9950X3D and 9900X3D will likely follow in early 2025.
