As next-gen CPUs quickly approach, we've updated all our CPU benchmark data and have retested some Intel CPUs to highlight DDR5's impact on modern PC gaming performance.

Something good from the past - test with slower GPU (RTX 4070)

is that why I see ddr5 for sale in 4 packs but sticks are dummy ones?DDR5 problem is not performance, it's density, you can't run 4 sticks with it, 128 GB+ configuration without ECC is unheard of in DDR5, even if "officialy" the mobo says it's able, in DDR4 you can do it easy and on many diffrent mobos...

Jeez 7800X3D is really, really good in games. Batters the 14900K even when the Intel chip is using very fast DDR5. Be interesting to see how well it ages. AMD are going to keep throwing cache onto their chips when the performance gains to be had for gaming are so huge.
sure would like to hear about that actually working in a complete system not just working in the pack
The comment about not making sense to get DDR4 is debatable when you consider the price difference. Essentially, you are paying about 2x the price for DDR5, for 20% gain on average. So from a cost benefit angle, people may still go with affordable DDR4 3200, since there is little difference going up to 3600.

For slower cards , this article shows no need of DDR5 . Yep , in the future it would be inevitable as well as even faster RAM .

The rise of the core count of the processors necessitates higher memory bandwidth . That s why DDR5 is invented and serves this purpose . You need DDR5 if you re planning to have a top-notch rig otherwise DDR4 is stil fine . The shift to faster memory in the future is inevitable of course .
