G.Skill has just announced the world’s first DDR5 memory sticks with a clock speed of less than 30 microseconds. Under the Trident Z5 RGB, Trident Z5, and Ripjaws S5 brands, the new DDR5 memory will be available in 32GB (2x 16GB) and 64GB (2x 32GB) kits. Additionally, you’ll have the option of DDR5-5600 or DDR5-5200 frequencies, which both have a CAS Latency of 28.
As latencies reduce, these kits’ real-world CAS latency begins to compete with that of great CL16 DDR4 kits, meaning that we should begin to experience a performance improvement in-game. There has been a recent push for more frequency, but we also require reduced latencies.

G.Skill’s announcement is fantastic news for DDR5, since we’ve finally arrived at a stage where moving to DDR5 is worthwhile outside of a few synthetic benchmarks and specialized high-memory use cases. Hopefully, other manufacturers will soon follow suit.
In other words, real-world CAS latency is determined as (CAS Latency x 2,000)/Memory Speed, which in the case of the DDR5-5600 CL28 kit is 10ns. DDR4-3200 with a CAS delay of 16 is comparable.
At this time, gaming begins to profit, and at a higher overall frequency. While this may just add a few frames per second to the frame rate, it contributes to DDR5’s appeal to gamers.
Intel’s 12th Generation Alder Lake processors currently support the latest memory standard (together with DDR4), but AMD’s Zen 4 is expected to support just DDR5. Increased assistance should theoretically result in increased demand, which should result in reduced prices.

Although the price of these kits has not been announced, you may anticipate G.Skill to charge a premium for such ‘enthusiast’ memory. These are likely to be more expensive than regular DDR5, which is nearly double the price of DDR4.
