With the current memory crisis driving up consumer-grade DDR5 prices, any new product launch in this space will always raise the question: 'but at what cost?' That said, G.SKILL's Trident Z5 Royal NeoX Series DDR5 Memory definitely looks the part, adopting the Royal lineup's mix of silver, gold, and a crystalline light bar that looks like diamond jewelry with added RGB.
G.SKILL calls it luxurious and sophisticated, adding a touch of elegance to the brand's pristine reputation for overclocked performance. What makes G.SKILL's Trident Z5 Royal NeoX Series DDR5 Memory stand out is its support for the latest Ultra Low Latency technology for AMD EXPO, called EXPO ULL. Basically, it delivers lower latency at the same memory speed.
G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal NeoX Series DDR5 Memory supports speeds of up to DDR5-6000 with memory sub-timings of CL 26-36-36-32, 28-36-36-32, 30-38-38-32, and 36-36-36-76. G.SKILL notes that the Trident Z5 Royal NeoX Series will be available in 32GB kits (16GB x 2), with stock expected to become available in various markets "in phases."
AMD EXPO ULL memory overclock profile support does require a compatible AMD CPU, motherboard, and BIOS. With the improved latency, AMD has noted that on non-X3D CPUs, EXPO ULL can improve FPS performance by up to 4%. It is a small but notable figure when you're playing competitive games at 150+ FPS.
