New DDR4 memory record of 6666.6MHz reached on AMD Renoir system

A devilish new DDR4 memory world record has been set on a computer with the AMD Ryzen 7 4700GE "Renoir" APU. Using a single module of Crucial Ballistix MAX DDR4 memory on the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming Mini-ITX motherboard, overclocker Bianbao Xe achieved a frequency of 6666.6MHz!

The APU was underclocked and overvolted - a technique that aimed to increase stability of the memory controller whilst also reducing operating temperatures (balancing the higher voltage and lower frequency). Of course, memory timings were loosened to achieve this feat (timings of 30-27-27-58 aren't what you'd usually like to see), but then again, this wasn't meant to power the utmost memory performance - only the highest frequency.
