Good for them. Shame that AMD/Intel and motherboard manufacturers don't officially support such high clocks and require users to overclock the base clock (with varying success) to reach such speeds.

At it stands, although Ryzen has had a very successful launch, even reaching 3200MHz (PC25600) -- the highest setting currently available before base clock overclocking is required -- with two modules rated for that speed is difficult.

only 700Mhz more and we hit GDDR5 speeds in system RAM LOL.

Expected RRP = £many

I'm not one for the current fad for making the inside of a case look like a Christmas tree but I like the physical design of these , cosmetic I know but will look smart and in keeping with the latest Motherboard designs.

Who really needs these speeds?! Where is the real world benefit?

Because when you've had a bad week and need some cheering up on a Friday night, you can walk in the pub, approach the cute blonde girl at the bar and say "I run dual channel DDR4 at 4500MHz" and she will melt in your arms at the thought.
