The improvement of DDR5 over DDR4 for Intel CPUs is significant, but specifics depend on the processor model. This answer is tailored for Intel enthusiasts as of March 25, 2022.
The answer isn't straightforward. When a game limits bandwidth, the increased speeds of DDR5 can help up to a point, but eventually the GPU's compute power becomes the bottleneck. Also, early DDR5 models have higher delays, which might hurt performance in latency-sensitive titles compared to some modern DDR4 options. Overall, it’s likely to be quicker, but you should check specific benchmarks for your games and GPUs to be confident. Competitive performance with dedicated cards remains limited, except possibly for very basic hardware.
ddr5 offers a marginal improvement, yet the cost remains significantly greater compared to ddr4.
