World’s Fastest Memory — 4620MHz Hyper-X

[MikeTz]

 

 

HyperX Predator is the world’s fastest DDR3 memory, at 4620MHz. On June 30, 2014, GIGABYTE™ announced that its overclockers “HiCookie” and “Sofos1990” achieved the world’s fastest memory frequency using one 4GB HyperX Predator 2933MHz DDR3 module (not yet available) on GIGABYTE’s Z97-SOC FORCE LN2 motherboard, engineered specifically for overclockers.

 

The true, live frequency was accurately read via oscilloscope, monitored by an official HWBOT representative, and then submitted on HWBOT.org. The previous world record was also achieved in partnership with GIGABYTE™and HyperX during Computex 2014.

 

The source of the news is the video that was posted on the official Hyper-X Youtube channel. This is the newest record for fastest RAM speed on a DDR3 dimm...

They also posted info about this record on the Facebook page.

And WHY MUST WE UPGRADE TO DDR4 WHEN IT IS SLOWER!!! :C :C :C

[Askew]

The title will mislead people into thinking memory is being sold with that clockspeed.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

Daaaaaaaaaaamn that would be useful for an APU!

 

EDIT: If it's a casual person then they might not know how to overclock this high though...

[Freaky_spider]

is Hyper-X the only company with good overclocking RAM / does overclocking? cuz this is the 3rd time they break their own record (i that i know of)

[Jumper118]

yay they used the ln2 version of my board. what a surprise . i bet they spent a while binning the ram and cpu for that. gskill are pretty good at that stuff. i wonder if they'll manage 5ghz before ddr4 is out(not on preorder).

its 30%-40% faster clock for clock......

[Enderman]

its 30%-40% faster clock for clock......

Yeah for 2400MHz memory that you can already get with DDR3, and CL timings almost 2x slower? ..........

Density, power consumption, and opening up the theoretical ceiling on performance. The latency on that record makes it practically useless.

There already are 16 to 128GB ECC server dimms so I don't see why they can't do the same with DDR3

Also .3v is not a very significant power efficiency change...there are already DDR3 ram that work with 1.25v

4620MHz with a stick of Kingston on an SOC Force.

lol and i have a post on that..i forgot

Daymn!

This record is over 6 weeks old.

If you don't see why then you need to do some research into the standards and design limitations of DDR3 chips.

 

.3v is huge, 25%. Go ahead and try to run a 2133 MHz DDR3 stick at 1.25v, even with CL 13/14.

 

The big (128GB) server DIMMs tend to be IODisks, not DDR3/DDR4 sticks.

The price and kit needed for that speed, though.. it's like putting a high performance brake and tire package on a Kia.

No it wouldn't. The CL on it was in the mid 20s. At that point you have so much lag nothing would run right if it couldn't fit in cache.

I once had a pair of some glorious dominator platinums that got to 2666 with CL9 at 1,65v

Sold the sticks though

for the price you could just as easily afford an gpu.

it might not be significant, but it is an improvement.

also nobody forces you to upgrade.

error correcting capabilities improved as well.

x99 forces you to upgrade.

For those asking if HyperX is the only good overclocking RAM, no. G.Skill owned the world record for a long time. G.Skill hasn't reinvested in a new design since Trident X, waiting instead until DDR4 to take another crack at it. Business before pleasure. HyperX also never has the best sub-timings in the market.

This, misleading title, reporting

[Jumper118]

yes which means 2400mhz ddr4 is 30-40% faster than 2400mhz ddr3. but ddr4 3000mhz is cl 15 so its still 20-25% faster than 2400 cl11 ddr3 and this is at 1.2v and we don't know how it overclocks yet.

No it wouldn't. The CL on it was in the mid 20s. At that point you have so much lag nothing would run right if it couldn't fit in cache.

cl doesn't matter for apu's at all. it needs raw bandwidth, i've tested this myself.

[atomicmonkey101]

guaranteed that was cherry picked by gigabyte.
