So what where's the DDR5 Ram for PC that's supposed to be 2x as fast as DDR4? It seems like DDR4 is here to stay for 2019.

From what I remember, DDR5 is to be released early 2020. It's not twice as fast, but it should be a noticeable improvement.

about a year and a half from now

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

The first real DDR5 chips were made just last month. It'll be 2020 before it really hits the consumer market, and probably another year or two before it becomes the main memory type.
