kennethk Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Was wondering if we are ever going to see DDR5 ram available for on board ram? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Eventually, but first there's going to be DDR4, like what ADATA is going to have before long. Going to be a while (year or so) before those appear in consumer systems, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp9801 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 GDDR5, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is actually based on DDR3. GDDR4 is also based on DDR3, while GDDR3 is based on DDR2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrymoencurly Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Are you people still using DDR5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds right to me I'm not really concerned when DDR4 or DDR5 come out, RAM speed and technology seems to make the least difference in most everyday computing. Naturally I support the change because nanometer shrinks so they become more efficient, more densely packed (higher capacity, one of the more important traits), and cheaper (if they aren't gouging).

Yes, I don't think technology can get all that faster, maybe by the time we are all dead and gone but I don't think we'll need any extremely overkilled builds anytime soon for every day use. Sure it's a bit different if you're a video editor for example but other then that eh not so sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, when I used to render video back in my game design days....all it took was more memory (capacity). I didn't see very much difference when I tweaked memory speed.

WarWeeny Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 buy up all your ddr3 ram sticks before ddr4 hits the field, if they get the same money boost as ddr2 had, you are rich! personally i dont have any interest in ddr4 ram, its nice its there, but i already have pretty fast ram. it never bottle-necked me before so why would it do in the near future?

All depends on the software you want, I suppose photoshop 20.5 would bottleneck it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 640K is enough for anyone! I remember getting EDO memory back in the day and it definitely made a difference! DDR3 was a decent bump up from 2...time will tell on DDR4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
