00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.960
so memory for your computer might be something you don't give a whole lot of

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.880
thought to even if you're an enthusiast as long as you have enough of a

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:15.120
compatible type things will probably run the way you want them to

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.800
but making sure that folks do have enough is one of the key goals of the

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:26.320
next revision of pc memory ddr5 so named because five is one higher

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.160
than four and the jdec folks didn't go to the same elementary school as

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.800
microsoft's xbox team seriously though the next revision of ddr memory does

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:39.920
bring the expected increases in speed and the decreases in power consumption

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:47.039
but the big draw is just how much capacity manufacturers should be able to

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:50.079
squeeze onto one chip ddr5 aims to have

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.160
twice the density of ddr4 which is no

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:57.280
mean feat because packing that much memory into such a small space makes it

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:02.480
more difficult to keep things stable due to like weird interactions that can

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:07.439
happen between atoms but it seems they found a way to do it meaning that an

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:12.799
individual ddr5 chip could contain up to 32 gigabits of data

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.119
but wait hold on a second i mean most of us with desktop computers have

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:22.640
more memory slots than we actually need i mean it isn't exactly difficult to put

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

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:33.280
well although ddr5 will undoubtedly be relatively expensive when it hits the

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:38.079
market over time it will make the per Gigabyte cost of RAM cheaper and

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.920
although RAM has historically been one of the more inexpensive components for

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.560
pcs recent dram shortages have resulted

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:52.399
in price increases that have hung around for quite some time so even if users

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:57.119
find themselves needing just 8 or 16 gigs of memory once ddr5 becomes

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:02.960
widespread they should be able to enjoy some savings and ddr5's improved speed

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:08.319
will also bring benefits in certain scenarios now RAM was kind of overlooked

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.720
for a long time by pc enthusiasts like me simply because it didn't give

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.760
tangible performance gains in many applications particularly in games but

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:23.360
there's been a renewed interest in having speedy system RAM as AMD's ryzen

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.760
cpus are known for being more affected by memory speeds than their Intel

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:32.640
counterparts with noticeable frame rate increases being reported in certain

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:36.959
titles when you pair your CPU with faster RAM and a high performance

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:41.519
discrete graphics card so what kind of performance can we expect

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:45.440
then well ddr5 frequencies are expected to clear 6

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:51.519
000 megahertz which will be a huge improvement over the 3200 megahertz max

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.640
speed of the official ddr4 spec this could end up helping AMD users a lot and

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:02.319
also any folks who are gaming on integrated graphics cards that leverage

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:05.360
main system memory as vram so laptop

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.440
users rejoice this increased bandwidth

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:12.959
will also come in handy in server and cloud applications but when exactly will

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.599
we reap these benefits well we could see ddr5 kits towards the end of 2019

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.080
believe it or not but the first ones that hit the market will likely be aimed

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:26.879
at the enterprise consumer grade ddr5 probably won't be available until 2020

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

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:35.840
becomes really widespread and more affordable so in the meantime don't feel

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

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:45.120
since you can still enjoy it for a couple of years there are frankly

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:50.799
plenty of much stupider things that you could have spent more money on for much

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:55.760
shorter term gratification speaking of short-term gratification if

00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:00.080
long-term gratification is your play then use brilliant daily problems to
