In terms of performance per dollar, you’re better of spending money on a better GPU or CPU than DDR5, especially with how reasonably priced high-grade DDR4 RAM sticks are. So yeah, you can say that I’m really looking forward to when DDR5 comes out, although it’s likely going to make me very poor for some time.Īs you can see, DDR4 is really what you should be aiming for these days, even though DDR5 might be on the horizon. Power draw isn’t going to be affected as much, going down to 1.1v, although it’s still impressive given the other improvements. It’s also believed that capacity is going to be increased to a mind-boggling 64GB per stick, which is even hard for me to fathom. Clock speeds will go up to a theoretical 6400 Mhz (and probably start at 4800 Mhz), so it’s going to easily beat out DDR4 there. The improvements are actually pretty impressive.
DDR5 is the new standard on the horizon, and even though it isn’t currently available, we’re probably going to be seeing it appear on the consumer market sometime in 2020.
