Gigabyte has shared exciting news at CES 2026 by showing a major step forward in memory technology. The company has successfully achieved 256GB of DDR5 memory running at very high 7200 speeds. This was done using a new memory design called CQDIMM.

This achievement was shown on the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE CQDIMM Edition motherboard. It uses two large 128GB memory sticks and still keeps high speed and stable performance. Until now, increasing memory size often meant slower speeds and more system issues. Gigabyte has now solved this long-standing problem.

On the hardware side, Gigabyte redesigned the motherboard layout. This helps reduce pressure on memory channels and keeps signals clean and stable. Because of this, the system can handle large memory sizes without errors, even during heavy work.

Software also plays an important role. Company improved its BIOS with better clock control and smarter timing management. The BIOS adjusts voltage and signal flow carefully, which helps the memory run smoothly at high speed.

Gigabyte works with memory brands

Gigabyte is also working closely with memory makers such as ADATA, Kingston, and Team Group. This partnership will help bring better support and faster adoption for future PC builds.

With this achievement, Gigabyte sets a new standard for high-capacity and high-speed memory. It shows that users no longer have to choose between size and speed, as both are now possible together.
