14 DAY TRIAL // Two days ago I wrote about the G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 memory modules, how they had been put up for pre-order early, and how they had clocks of up to 3 GHz.
The company has now formally introduced the RAM, and it seems that one of the previously revealed specifications were wrong.
I said that the G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 came in clock frequencies of 2,133 MHz to 3 GHz, but it turns out the fastest clock is of 3.2 GHz instead.
That's right, this is one of those rare times when the effect the invalidation of a prior data report is not disappointing.
So there you go, DDR4 modules of 2,133 MHz, 2,400 MHz, 2,666 MHz, 2,800 MHz, 3,000 MHz and 3,200 MHz, arranged in quad-channel kits of 16 GB (4 x 4 GB), 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) and 64 GB (8 x 8 GB).
In 2015, I'm pretty sure G.Skill will add a 128 GB kit of eight 16 GB modules, but 16 GB capacities will stay unavailable until then, for consumer RAM DIMMs at least.
All DDR4 RAM modules work at 1.2V, 1.35V for 2,800 MHz and up. Considering that 1.35V is the rating for low-power DDR3, that's still a lot more efficient than current memory options.
