It will also come at quite a premium price wise for what will be very basic modules compared to what will come a year or so later when it's fully up to speed.

Yeah. DDR5 won't be cheap for the first couple of years.
that’s what my tin foil hate rankings was about and being forced to ddr5 sooner or later so everyone can make more money.
but the question is though will it cost more then ddr4 shortage price though though not long ago becouse I can not rember ddr 4 being that price at launch .

DDR4 is cheap currently, https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-08q-tg.html this is a steal.
I paid ~£150 for that in August. And they say RAM prices are about to go up too - saw it this week, can't find where now. But fast DDR4 is cheap currently.
I paid 119.99 for that ram but that’s not the point I was trying to make though 16 months ago the ram was double that price due to the shortage. But at launch I think I only paid £100 for my Corsair 2666 ram but when that went up to well over 150 at one time. Now ddr 4 prices are a good price again but ddr 5 will push prices up again again and I wonder if it will be same price as it was in the shortage

Oh mate, wasn't trying to discredit your post at all, in fact, what I posted had no real relevance to your post. I was just trying to highlight to the OP that to get decent high frequency RAM @ DDR4 is a winner currently. I don't doubt your post is true. I was just adding to it, in a rather odd way. My bad.
Norman desktop users are the minority. The majority are using portable devices where power efficiency is extremely important.
When DDR5 gets released, there’ll be modules out that are faster than the fastest DDR4, so just enjoy it
Err, there will be super expensive DDR5 modules faster than DDR4-4266? I think I will just skip those, it isn't possible to enjoy something meaningless and which is put down your throat by as much force as they can have..
You buy or you don’t, your decision. No-one is sticking anything down your throat, no need to be dramatic/sensationalist, we’re talking about RAM here
