Gigabyte Extreme Tuning Team Sets New DDR5 13556 World Records and Dominates Competitive Overclocking on Both Intel and AMD Platforms
Gigabytes extreme tuning team broke new records in competitive overclocking this week after several new world records were achieved at the recent Computex show. led by HiCookie, the Gigabyte team broke the DDR5 memory frequency world record using liquid nitrogen cooling. Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory was overclocked to a new, record 13556 MT/s which broke all verified past world records.
The record attempt was made on the top Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Tachyon Duo X Ice motherboard with a Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor. Gigabyte reports the boards use of custom circuits, and their advanced clock driver routing helped keep the signal intact to allow the extreme frequency. One of the key component features that helped push the memory to 13556 MT/s was the implementation of CQDIMM technology, which shortens the path from the CPU to the system RAM.
At the G.Skill 12th Annual OC World Record Stage event, Gigabyte showed their hardware was well represented on both the Intel and AMD sides of things by taking 10 first place world records using the brand new X870 Aorus Infinity motherboard on the AMD side. The benchmark categories varied from tests of brute force computing to efficiency under full load.
The tests were run on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor using G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB memory, pushing to 7452 MHz CPU frequency to claim an all time highest clock speed for an AMD processor. This clock speed and stability allowed for first place world records in Super Pi 1M, Cinebench R15 single core and Cinebench R23 single core, in addition to 6 other competitive benchmarks.
Both of these tests at the show show the competition focused on hardware engineers among the motherboard companies today. By pushing hardware to the extreme with liquid nitrogen and voltage to see how the board responds at these speeds, a company is more aware of what kind of stresses standard consumer motherboards will experience under high load, and they can then engineer around that. HiCookie had a lot to say after the G.Skill world record attempt
This is a result that belongs to the whole community. We are grateful to G.Skill for bringing together so many of the world top overclockers on one stage. Seeing our long term collaboration in memory technology, and Gigabyte relentless pursuit of extreme performance and reliability, come to fruition like this makes it all worthwhile.
Both the AMD and Intel world records show what the current Gigabyte motherboards are capable of. While these extreme speeds will only be seen under extreme laboratory conditions, the new technologies implemented such as optimized memory traces, reliable voltage deliver, and CQDIMM technology will certainly contribute to retail hardware.
