DDR5 not better than 4 ?

[digitaldreams]

Spec'ing an upgrade to Intels 1700 socket I see there's a DDR5 option yet looking at benchmarks on another site DDR4 gives slightly better FPS with the same processor (i9) ????. Surely its just a chipset issue they haven't sorted yet ?

Most of the reviews are using very cheap/slow DDR5, such as 4800Mhz, 5200Mhz kits.

Check reviews for 6000Mhz+ kits, or even 6400Mhz, 6600Mhz kits that are now available with easy XMP settings. These extend the performance improvements are are worth it, though very expensive.

There'll be a bunch of folk in denial who'll claim that DDR4 is still better. Price wise, they're right - though performance wise DDR5 at 6400Mhz+ is simply faster in every metric (performance wise) and the way forward.

Looking at an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F motherboard yet without overclocking its base is 4800Mhz, no doubt even at that I should see a general improvement over my 2133Mhz ddr4 current setup ??. Thinking that better CAS DDR5 kits will come soon (much better than 38), yet my current system x99 apparently sees no advantage to faster CAS !?. I'm also looking at a C14 3200Hmz kit for the DDR4 version of the motherboard.
