A leak suggests that G.SKILL is preparing 24 GB DDR5 memory modules with AMD EXPO support that are not limited to binary options.

Hardware Leaker Reveals G.Skill's Next-Gen Trident Z5 Memory

MEGAsizeGPU, a hardware leaker, has shared photos of G.Skill's unreleased DIMMs. According to the leaker, the leaked hardware is the world's first 24G*2 DDR5 expo module: F5-6000J4048F24GX2-TZ5NR. The next-gen Trident Z5 memory is expected to have a 6000 MT/s data transfer rate. Close-up shots of labels on heatsinks suggest that the sample units are non-binary 24 GB DDR5 memory modules that can support EXPO profiles for AMD's Ryzen 7000-series CPUs. MEGAsizeGPU claims that "6000 MHz is the sweetspot for Ryzen" (AM5).

Off-screen captures show a PC system booting up in DDR5-6000 mode. Within a Windows OS environment, CPU-Z demonstrates that these new Trident Z5 modules are based on SpecTek-made 24Gb DRAM ICs (instead of binary 16Gb). SpecTek is a division working under Micron Technology. G.SKILL will likely sell non-binary Z5 memory in pairs, so we expect to see matched 48 GB dual-channel kits popping up on the market soon. However, MEGAsizeGPU did not mention anything about pricing or availability.

Kingston debuted its own non-binary memory offerings at Computex 2023, but presentation material on hand did not mention whether their new models support AMD's Extended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO).
