00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
faster is better with many things in life including today's topic

00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,280
ddr5 memory so let's get right into it ddr5 is expected to be twice as fast as

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,679
ddr4 which mainstream pcs have been using for years now initially the

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:22,560
manufacturing goal for ddr5 was to run kits at 4 800 megahertz which is double

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,640
ddr4 standard speed of 2 400 megahertz

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,400
but of course many of us are running our ddr4 kits at 3 000 megahertz and beyond

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,280
today meaning these stock improvements don't seem to be that impressive at face

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,079
value that's why the powers that be decided to kick it up a notch and sk

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,120
hynix a major manufacturer of dram has come out and stated it wants to roll out

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,200
kits that can get up to 8400 megahertz

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:52,640
whoa but realistically consumers looking to snag some memory for their home

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,800
systems should get used to seeing kits somewhere in the 4 800 to 6400 megahertz

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,960
range with ddr5 8400 mostly being

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,360
targeted at the server market and regardless of what speed you get ddr5

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,119
can be accessed while some of its memory banks are being refreshed which should

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,680
cut down on latency and further improve performance but as is tradition higher

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,840
speeds will counterintuitively come with lower power consumption thanks to

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:23,680
shrinking transistor sizes the standard voltage for ddr5 is going to be just 1.1

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,920
volts down from the reference of 1.2

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,600
volts in ddr4 and although this isn't going to mean a ton for desktop

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,000
computing lower power consumption overall should help extend the battery

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,400
life of mobile devices at least a little bit another result of smaller

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,400
transistors is greater density and i don't mean that your memory modules will

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,280
sink faster in a cup of water i'm talking about storage density how many

25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,320
gigabytes each module can hold this is expected to roughly double so you might

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
see 16 Gigabyte sticks become a lot more common than they are right now but hold

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,439
on a minute there james boy you're talking about ddr5 like it's something

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,880
coming out in the future even though you've seen that you can get your hands

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,560
on it right now what's up with that well here's the

30
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,120
thing just like many other kinds of bleeding edge tech availability for joe

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,920
consumer will effectively be non-existent for some time although we

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,640
have seen variants of ddr5 incorporated into high-end smartphones you can't yet

33
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,040
get your hands on a couple of sticks for your desktop pc there isn't a current

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,000
consumer platform that supports it and next generations of both Intel and AMD

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,680
cpus due out later this year are still going to be based around ddr4 indeed

36
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:39,040
aside from the aforementioned smartphones that will benefit from ddr5's lower power consumption we're

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:44,319
more likely to see ddr5 show up in servers first as ddr5 has more robust

38
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,840
error checking capabilities than older generations of RAM which will be useful

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,480
for data operations that need to be up and running basically

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,599
all the time current market estimates don't expect ddr5 to really start becoming widespread

41
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,560
in consumer pcs or servers until late 2021 and it will likely represent less

42
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:07,120
than half of the dram market until at least

43
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,720
mid-2022 so don't wait around for a ddr5

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,879
platform to come out if you're thinking about upgrading your rig or you're

45
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,400
building a new one this year but that isn't to say that it won't be a cool

46
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:20,159
piece of tech when it does come out especially as AMD's new CPU

47
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:24,080
architectures have made RAM performance a lot more important than it was just a

48
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,879
few years ago i'm just hoping that when ddr5 does become the standard roller

49
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:32,879
coaster RAM prices won't force me to take out a sketchy paycheck alone

50
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,799
just to get my hands on some the interest rates is so high
