It is that time of the year again guys. Computex is right around the corner and vendors are starting to send out press releases on upcoming products. One of the companies that's always pushing like crazy at Computex is G.Skill and the fact that they're showing the new Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3666 kit is the best proof for that.

The new Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3666MHz kit consists of four modules with 4GB capacity and therefore this is a 16GB kit. G.Skill is using Samsung ICs with these modules, therefore it appears that Samsung chips might be the way to go in future if vendors want to reach ultra high frequencies with DDR4 memory.

In order to prove that their new kit can actually perform at rated DDR4-3666 frequency, G.Skill attached a screenshot where you see twelve simultaneous instances of Memtest open and where all were completed with zero errors. G.Skill has conducted testing on Gigabyte's X99-SOC Champion motherboard in combination with an Intel Core i7-5820K CPU.

A closer look at the timings reveals that they have been set to 18-18-18-36 2T. Those timings are not what you would call tight, but considering a very high frequency involved, this was to be expected.

If you would like to know when these modules are going to hit the market we have to tell you that we're still in the dark, as G.Skill is probably keeping such information for Computex 2015 show.

We're expecting that this kit will show up in shops by the end of next month and apparently and expectedly, it will be insanely expensive.
