An extreme computing enthusiast has claimed the global DDR5 memory speed championship by reaching 13,211 megatransfers per second, surpassing a mark set just four days earlier. The overclocker known as AiMax utilized a Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 module alongside an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor and GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard to achieve the validated result, which appears in CPU-Z verification records submitted to HWBot on Sunday.
Liquid nitrogen cooling applied to both processor and memory enabled the configuration to operate at 6,605.7 megahertz while maintaining CL68-127-127-127-2 timing specifications. The GIGABYTE motherboard has dominated recent leaderboard positions, with multiple record holders employing the same board design.
Single-channel arrangements remain necessary for stability at speeds exceeding 13,000 megatransfers per second, though some manufacturers have demonstrated dual-channel operation above 10,000 megatransfers. Specialists suggest 13,500 megatransfers represent an attainable target for future attempts.
