DDR5 RAM

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 !
