DDR4 vs. DDR5: Everything worth knowing about the difference in the nerd

With Intel's Alder-Lake generation, the new RAM standard DDR5 has received entry. Thus, the performance of the memory was hired to a new level, but also the price. Third-party editor Stephan Wilke has already tested numerous DDR5 kits and at the same time neglects the "old" DDR4 memory latch. That's why he has a good overview of the Duel DDR4 vs. DDR5.

Who thinks about to put on DDR5 already, has correspondingly high demands at the high price. The good Stephan has separated the chaff of wheat and the kits are awarded in his latest test in the issue, which are particularly suitable for tuning ambitions - or not. Correctly good price-performance tips have clarified - that is such kits, which are much cheaper than the expensive (and good) high-end class, but hardly bad performing than this. Stephan was so nice to spoil these tips here in the video. For example, there are quality differences between the respective chips of the manufacturer Samsung, SK Hynix or Micron (Crucial).

If you want to screw yourself to your memory bars manually, you will be able to extract many valuable information in the talk between Reference Noob Manu and Reference Nerd Stephan.
