G.Skill memory at 10,600 MT/s, using 6-core Ryzen 5 8500G

While the official DDR5‑13 010 MT/s world record was set recently, it did not reflect a typical usage scenario. The test used a limited CPU core configuration, liquid‑nitrogen cooling for both processor and memory, and a single DIMM setup.
G.Skill announced that it achieved 10 600 MT/s in a more realistic environment. The system employed an ASUS B850M‑AYW motherboard, a mid‑range board designed for overclocking. The board is not yet widely available. It was paired with a Ryzen 5 8500G APU, which features improved memory controllers compared to Granite Ridge CPUs. Two 24 GB modules ran at 10600 MT/s with CL50 timing.

The test used standard cooling, no CPU configuration changes (the processor is a six‑core chip), and did not limit the number of memory sticks. These conditions are closer to what many users will experience in the future. The benefits of high‑speed memory remain to be explored, but this result suggests that such speeds may become common with upcoming AM5 CPUs. AMD may also enable CUDIMM support, which would assist in achieving these frequencies.
MemTest stable @ DDR5-10600!! 🔥
