1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,960
so memory for your computer might be something you don't give a whole lot of

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,880
thought to even if you're an enthusiast as long as you have enough of a

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,120
compatible type things will probably run the way you want them to

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,800
but making sure that folks do have enough is one of the key goals of the

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:26,320
next revision of pc memory ddr5 so named because five is one higher

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,160
than four and the jdec folks didn't go to the same elementary school as

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,800
microsoft's xbox team seriously though the next revision of ddr memory does

8
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:39,920
bring the expected increases in speed and the decreases in power consumption

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:47,039
but the big draw is just how much capacity manufacturers should be able to

10
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:50,079
squeeze onto one chip ddr5 aims to have

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,160
twice the density of ddr4 which is no

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:57,280
mean feat because packing that much memory into such a small space makes it

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:02,480
more difficult to keep things stable due to like weird interactions that can

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:07,439
happen between atoms but it seems they found a way to do it meaning that an

15
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:12,799
individual ddr5 chip could contain up to 32 gigabits of data

16
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:17,119
but wait hold on a second i mean most of us with desktop computers have

17
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:22,640
more memory slots than we actually need i mean it isn't exactly difficult to put

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:28,479
16 gigs of RAM on a standard board so why do we need another revision of ddr

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,280
well although ddr5 will undoubtedly be relatively expensive when it hits the

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:38,079
market over time it will make the per Gigabyte cost of RAM cheaper and

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,920
although RAM has historically been one of the more inexpensive components for

22
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,560
pcs recent dram shortages have resulted

23
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:52,399
in price increases that have hung around for quite some time so even if users

24
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:57,119
find themselves needing just 8 or 16 gigs of memory once ddr5 becomes

25
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:02,960
widespread they should be able to enjoy some savings and ddr5's improved speed

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:08,319
will also bring benefits in certain scenarios now RAM was kind of overlooked

27
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,720
for a long time by pc enthusiasts like me simply because it didn't give

28
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,760
tangible performance gains in many applications particularly in games but

29
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:23,360
there's been a renewed interest in having speedy system RAM as AMD's ryzen

30
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,760
cpus are known for being more affected by memory speeds than their Intel

31
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,640
counterparts with noticeable frame rate increases being reported in certain

32
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,959
titles when you pair your CPU with faster RAM and a high performance

33
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:41,519
discrete graphics card so what kind of performance can we expect

34
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,440
then well ddr5 frequencies are expected to clear 6

35
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:51,519
000 megahertz which will be a huge improvement over the 3200 megahertz max

36
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:56,640
speed of the official ddr4 spec this could end up helping AMD users a lot and

37
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:02,319
also any folks who are gaming on integrated graphics cards that leverage

38
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,360
main system memory as vram so laptop

39
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,440
users rejoice this increased bandwidth

40
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,959
will also come in handy in server and cloud applications but when exactly will

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,599
we reap these benefits well we could see ddr5 kits towards the end of 2019

42
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,080
believe it or not but the first ones that hit the market will likely be aimed

43
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:26,879
at the enterprise consumer grade ddr5 probably won't be available until 2020

44
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,040
and even then we might still be in for a year or two transition phase before it

45
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:35,840
becomes really widespread and more affordable so in the meantime don't feel

46
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,319
like you can't splurge on that seak kit of RGB ddr4 that you've had your eyes on

47
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,120
since you can still enjoy it for a couple of years there are frankly

48
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:50,799
plenty of much stupider things that you could have spent more money on for much

49
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,760
shorter term gratification speaking of short-term gratification if

50
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:00,080
long-term gratification is your play then use brilliant daily problems to

51
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,920
train your brain each problem provides you with the context and framework that

52
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,400
you need to tackle it so you learn the concepts by applying them and if you

53
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:11,920
like the daily problem then there's more like it in the quiz on the left so that

54
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,599
you can explore the concept in great detail and develop your framework if

55
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:19,600
you're confused and you need more guidance you can join the community in

56
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,320
discussing these problems allowing you to go from curiosity to mastery just one

57
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:30,240
day at a time so what are you waiting for go to brilliant.org techwiki and
