We bring you today a new record in this extreme overclocking. If yesterday we told you that the RX 6800 XT had broken the world record for 3DMark FireStrike, today it is the world’s turn to the record speed of RAM memory.

The Chinese overclocker Baby-j, using Crucial Ballistix Max memory of 4. 00 0 MHz, has managed to reach an impressive 7. 004, 2 MHz speed. Naturally, to achieve this frequency, you have had to use an extreme cooling system based on liquid nitrogen, both for the CPU (where the memory controller is) and for the memory module of 16 GB, something that escapes the vast majority of users and that does not have its application in a conventional PC.

The DDR4 speed record was achieved with a Ryzen 5 Pro APU 4650 G

With this speed validated (the overclocker has shown captures of 7. 006, 4 MHz, but has not passed the validation stably. Baby-J is placed first in the world ranking, global ranking, and DDR4 ranking.

The processor used is also striking, since, in general, we are used to seeing state-of-the-art processors such as Ryzen 9 5950 X or the Core i9 – 10900 K in these types of feats . However, on this occasion, the overclocker has used an AMD APU, specifically a Ryzen 5 Pro 4650 G with integrated graph.
