DDR5 RAM
- Thread starter oggiet
- Start date
Samsung and SK Hynix, amongst others, have already confirmed they're currently producing DDR5. We'll likely see some towards the end of this year, however, I would imagine it'll be very limited and for specific use cases. It'll pick up more speed next year when we some major CPU architecture and chipset changes.
Thanks for that! Currently have 5820k which was looking to upgrade but might be worth to hold out till next year than

The upcoming Ryzen 4000 would be a worthy upgrade, but it's very unlikely to have DDR5. The release of DDR5 will need a coordinated effort between CPU, motherboard and RAM manufacturers. That's why I think it's unlikely it'll be readily available until next year.
If it does become available this year, I'd still wait until next year. If DDR3 and DDR4 have taught us anything, new RAM launches are expensive and underwhelming. I wouldn't want to be an early adopter.
Think you are right. Will see when Ryzen 4000 comes out, if we get good boxing day deals I might just bite the bullet. Thanks for your time, much appreciated !

There is this but doesn't necessarily mean 2022 is when it will be available, but if I was a betting man I would think no sooner.
Thats a long time lol !! Ryzen 4000 it is, hopefully some good deals on boxing day.
I saw this. Im fine with this, I don't think for the majority of users, even us lot in general, it will be an amazing feature.
Happy to let it mature whilst I get my value from this platform for a few year.

Exactly. Technology moves too fast. And if your like us and always keeping pace then you end up upgrading hardware that didn't even get a chance to stretch it's legs.
Technically speaking I should skip the 4000 series and just wait for AM5 (or whatever they call it). That way I get some use out of my current hardware.

Although it does say that intel will have it first, what it fails to mention is it will probably still be 14nm++++++++++++e CPU's lol.

DDR5 will probably be supported by Intel/AMD in 2022. It will be really awesome, since all DDR5 has ECC. Really big deal and another blow to the overpriced workstation xeons.
By the time it's supported by Intel/AMD, I expect we'll see much faster modules than the bare JEDEC standards.
DDR4 3000Mhz C15 was available day one of Skylake's release (first DDR4 platform), that was faster than all but the most extreme DDR3, and consumed much less power as well. 3000Mhz C15 was also cheap as chips on release, I paid just over £100 for a 16gb kit in 2015.
