> Unfortunately, the laws of physics driving DRAM cells have not improved much over the last couple of years (or decades, for that matter), so memory chips still must operate with similar absolute latencies, driving up the relative CAS latency. In this case 14ns remains the gold standard, with CAS latencies at the new speeds being set to hold absolute latencies around that mark. Some gaming memory kits can do 10ns or…

> Some gaming memory kits can do 10ns or less latency Source? My overclocked desktop RAM shows 45ns in benchmarks. I call bullshit on 4.5x faster RAM. Most people fight for an extra 5% latency reduction

That's probably 10 ns for the DRAM and 35 ns for the caches and memory controller.
