After a long wait, G.Skill has finally given us a glimpse at its shiny Trident Z5 Royal RAM series. Both stylish and speedy, these DDR5 kits could be the crown jewels that you didn’t know were missing from your PC.
The Royal series will be available in Silver and Gold finishes. Though, no need to bite the modules, they’re not real gold. Regardless of which you opt for, though, each kit comes crowned with an acrylic RGB diffuser, styled after precious gemstones. Looking at the presentation video, the RGB effect gives the RAM a decidedly boujee, luxurious appearance. Suffice to say, sleeper builds needs not apply but if you’re looking to build the blingiest, flashiest PC, you’ll want to keep your eye out for these sticks.
While both colourways look fancy enough, the silver sticks look best suited for an all-white build, whereas the gold kits look made to sit inside a black-and-gold rig. That said, the DDR4 Trident Z Royal remains my favourite RAM design ever released by G.Skill.
Style aside, these kits should offer the highest speeds available on DDR5, so we can easily expect 8,000MT/s kits, though most users are likely to go with 7,200MT/s or so. And on the capacity front, we should see 32GB, 48GB, 64GB, and 96GB dual channel kits. However, we can’t be sure until the official launch. What is for certain, though, is that G.Skill will put its best memory chips in these to reach the best performance and latency possible.
This announcement timing suggests that we may see these showcased or even launched during Computex in a couple of weeks. While pricing is still unknown, we can expect to pay a little extra for this series. Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait quite as long for Trident Royal DDR6 kits, for maximum speed and splendour.
