In terms of price, DDR5 RAM is still more expensive than DDR4, but not by much anymore. There's only a $10 price difference between the two kits we tested for this feature.

DDR5’s raw speed far surpasses that of even the fastest DDR4 at the top end, while the midrange hovers around the 5,000MHz mark, which is like the top end of DDR4 RAM.

You can see how, as memory frequencies ramp up, we get a corresponding increase in read, write and copy speeds. Our DDR5-6600 overclock allows us to breach the 100K barrier in read speed, with ...

In 2025, there are more DDR5 RAM kits available than at any other time. Frequencies can range anywhere from 6,400 MHz up as high as 8,400 MHz, but you'll need the help of AMD EXPO to reach those ...

Unfortunately, DDR5 RAM has pretty much doubled the timings, meaning that the frequency is faster, but the latency is higher. You’ll see numbers like CL14 or CL18 for DDR4, but rarely less than ...

DDR5 memory modules, on the other hand, are equipped with two independent 32-bit channels (40-bit with ECC). JEDEC also doubled the so-called burst length from eight bytes (BL8) to 16 bytes (BL16).

Memory manufacturer, G.Skill, has just announced the first DDR5 memory sticks with a sub-30 CAS latency. The new DDR5 memory will appear under the Trident Z5 RGB, Trident Z5, and Ripjaws S5 brands ...

The new DDR5 memory frequency record now stands at DDR5-12666, or 6,333MHz, achieved on an ASRock motherboard using G.Skill's fancy new Trident Z5 CK RAM.

He was able to reach the aforementioned speed frequency with G.Skill’s own Trident Z5 DDR5 memory kit, Asus’ ROG Maximus Z690 APEX motherboard, and Intel’s flagship Alder Lake processor, the ...

G.Skill DDR5 RAM is overclocked to a blazing 12,054MT/s with no liquid nitrogen needed – just air cooling Nvidia's RTX 5090 has already been pushed beyond its limit - ROG Astral model overclock ...

DDR5 is the fifth generation of Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (RAM). That’s quite a mouthful, hence its useful acronym - DDR5. When it was debuted in 2021 it came ...

BrandPost How faster DDR5 memory can unlock new performance in your desktop PC Are 9,000 MT/s kits worth the money? It’s not just about speed with Biwin’s new DW100 line. Image: Biwin ...
