As it usually happens, when a first batch of new architecture CPUs rolls out of the factory, memory manufacturers are already there blazing with refreshed products to come by. However, it does not automatically eliminate the older models out of the market. As such, the DDR3-2666 CL12 version of G.Skill’s TridentX is still interesting enough for us to test although quite some time has passed after the initial release.

Looking at the specs, it's not hard to see why this memory had attracted our attention. Only a handful of
8GB module variations will safely run DDR3-2666 with timings of
12-13-13-35, which is simply excellent in the case of a 32GB kit. Honestly, we didn't expect the progress to go so far so quickly.
