If you're thinking about PCIe 4.0 RAM, it would be a cool development if DDR5 arrives alongside the new Intel and AMD socket updates, possibly taking a couple of years.

PCIe Gen 4 is indeed quicker than DDR4. The ready boost is still useful for maximizing performance.

PCIe gen 4 16x handles around 32GB/s, whereas DDR4 speeds vary from 60 to 70GB/s. RAM typically offers significantly lower latency compared to PCIe. Source links provided.
