TEAMGROUP enters validation phase with first consumer grade DDR5 module

[illegalwater]

TEAMGROUP is validating one of the first (the first?) consumer grade DD5 modules, it's 16GB and runs 4800MHz @ 1.1v

 

Also If I'm reading this right, XMP might not be a thing anymore and DDR5 just runs out of box at its rated spec?

Presently, TEAMGROUP is working hard at producing its first batch of DDR5 memory with the tentative specifications of 16GB, 4800MHz, and 1.1V for a single module. The company is cooperating with major motherboard manufacturers, such as ASUS, MSI, ASRock, and GIGABYTE, providing memory and working together with their R&D divisions to perform validation tests. Through the collaboration of R&D teams, TEAMGROUP was able to accelerate the development of its DDR5 memory by adjusting the initial parameters. The successful completion of the validation phase will confirm that the frequencies of standard DDR5 products surpass those of overclocked DDR4 products, and will represent another big step forward in the evolution of computer memory.
 

It is expected that consumers will not need to enter BIOS to enable the overclocking function as the DDR5 generation begins. After installing DDR5 memory, consumers can directly boot up their computers and experience the high performance without the overclocking step of DDR4. The powerful advantages of faster DDR5 will be instantly demonstrated and consumers will be able to effortlessly enjoy the extreme speed brought by the new generation.

I'm really interested to see how DDR5 actually performs in the real world. As long as Intel doesn't screw up yet again and delay Alder Lake we'll get an answer next year.

I've been postponing upgrading my PC for so long, and when I'm about to pull the trigger, DDR5 comes out of the closet looking damn interesting. As far as I remember though, we had to wait a few months before DDR4 started to outperform DDR3 back when it first came out, so... meh?

 

It's funny how 4800MHz at 1.1v sounds really nice at the moment, but in 10 years it's going to sound as outdated DDR3 does right now.

Yes but in ~3 years we will have DDR5 9600Mhz at 1.35v

can they start pumping out these sticks starting now so we would have enough stock for the first 30 minute of it launching?

Wish i could flag as funney and agree!

Then next year DDR6 will "release" and we will have 10100 MHz modules as the base with 0.9V.

Then the highest will be 16384 MHz at 1.2 V.
