DDR5-2018?
DDR5-2018?
I believe Wendell from Level1Techs' weekly update was the clearest and highlighted an upcoming piece on potential benefits, though they need to focus more than just speed and lower latency. He also noted that while the standard will be set in 2018, system support won't appear for another year or two, as production of chips and compatible components like Mobos, chipsets, and CPUs would still be required. I think this relates to AMD's strategy of standardizing their chipset and Mobos by 2020, enabling DDR5 and the next PCIe standard.
They're talking about base speed changes over time. DDR3 debuted around 1066 MHz, while DDR4 came in at 2133 MHz, making it roughly double. It seems DDR4 wasn't considered a direct double of DDR3 at launch. By the time DDR5 appeared, most systems would likely run between 3000 and 4000 MHz, which wouldn't be double DDR4 either.
Yes, you shared it. It seems some people skip reading before posting. Also:
A frequent misunderstanding. The impact grows more significant the higher you ascend, especially in CPU-intensive scenarios. Don't accept claims simply because Linus voiced them—he's human and prone to errors like everyone else. As you observe, the effect becomes more pronounced in certain cases.
