Would have been nice to see a 3600MHz @ CL16 to get an idea how much of that performance is frequency and how much is latency.

Thanks very interesting, I see this was tested on a 3900x.

Does the 5000 series benefit the same from the reduced latency?

Purchased a T-Force Dark 16gb kit x 2 and I’m able to hit the same timings with gear down mode enabled on a 5800x with the 4 sticks for dual rank goodness. This isn’t bad for 300 considering I spent roughly 220 and had to tweak these quite a bit.

In reply to James Sarver.

What are you talking about? This is a Samsung B-die kit, period. G.Skill’s AMD-specific kits like this – as in, ultra-low latency – have been in my experience. To suggest that a kit at DDR4-3600 CL14, sold specifically for AMD Ryzen systems, with a $300 price tag, doesn’t have premium Samsung ICs is ridiculous.

That’s all well and good that you got samsung b-die in your kit. The average user will not get it. Trident Z in any given variation is hynix and does not do well in Ryzen.
