Posted September 20, 2021 Hi all, Been kinda out of the loop since the 7700K and want to upgrade, was going to get the 5700X when it came out but it doesn't seem like AMD is making one so now waiting for DDR5 to come out since it looks like it'll be right around the corner. Will next gen CPUs/Mobos use DDR5?

Posted September 20, 2021 I believe I've seen that Intel's next gen will have both DDR4 and DDR5 motherboards, no clue about AMD. If it's anything like the DDR3 to DDR4 transition it's not going to be a very significant upgrade for a few years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Desktop: Intel Core i7-11700K | Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black | ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi | 32 GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3200 MHz | ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 3080 | 1TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD | 2TB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSD | Seasonic Focus GX-850 | Fractal Design Meshify C | Windows 10 Pro Laptop: HP Omen 15 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | 16 GB 3200 MHz | Nvidia RTX 3060 | 1 TB WD Black PCIe 3.0 SSD | 512 GB Micron PCIe 3.0 SSD | Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
