I do feel sorry for the 3 people buying a cheap 11th gen Celeron etc that aren't able to use a PCIe 4 drive at its highest speed.
I'd much rather buy into a mature DDR4 platform this year than be one of the crash test dummies paying through the nose to beta test DDR5 to be honest. If it's anything like DDR4, prices will fall almost as rapidly as speeds and compatibility increase. And whilst I'm sure there'll be workloads that benefit from the increased bandwidth of DDR5, gaming isn't going to be one of them, bar perhaps a handful of titles when run at 720p with a 3090 for theoretical benchmarking purposes.With all the BS about supply problems making for over priced boards and cpu`s ( trying to do an Nvidia ) Half way house job with PCIe 4 - a dead socket and DDR 5 due out end of 2021 the question is will any pc upgrader buy into this refresh.

Well, if you want to pay early adopter prices for DDR5 modules, motherboards and CPUs to play with an iGPU, more power to you.Gaming with iGPUs will benefit from the increased memory throughput - it's one of the bottlenecks of the APUs in general.

anyone? Intel are so tunnel versioned on IPC, They've completely forgot about Power consumption/Heat and most of all Multicore performance. Don't even get me started on the price.
it only clocks to 4.5GHz. Tho even tho that cpu can do 5GHz it seems the ST speed will be at best on par with Zen3.
We'll see, for now it's only rumors and your excitement. You keep praising Intel if they were your parents, it's just sad.It will destroy Zen 3 for gaming.
