DDR5 memory modules have entered mass production thanks to Chinese manufacturers Netac and Jiahe Jinwei, as VideoCardz reports. As for the specifications of the modules, it seems that they will be compatible with currently unreleased 12th generation Intel Core processors, codenamed Alder Lake. DDR5 improves on DDR4 in several ways according to baseline leaks, using less power while increasing the frequency to 4800 MHz capped at 6400 MHz. Power management is also routed through DIMM memory, a change from DDR4 which previously depended on the motherboard. The new DDR5 memory modules from manufacturers Jiahe Jinwei and Netac will have a capacity of 16GB of RAM, but 32GB model variants are also reportedly in the works.
Double data revolution
While there is currently no date on which we will have these memory modules in our PCs, Netac has confirmed the completion of its evaluation phase, reporting that the process went smoothly and that its DDR5 memory modules have booted into the operating system. No problem. DDR5 SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) will likely position itself as the new standard for high-end PCs, especially since the specs will be compatible with upcoming 12th generation Intel Core processors as well as new generation technology from AMD. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM will be more than enough to support upcoming high-end processors and GPUs, and having it on a fast lighting DIMM (or stick as they're commonly known) will free up slots to allow users to expand their PC into something more ambitious, as if they wanted to pursue a production hobby where faster memory is a must. With PC games and programs increasingly demanding specs each year, memory requirements are just as critical to builds as processors and GPUs, enabling the kind of efficient performance hardware and devices demand. and current generation software. While 32GB DIMMs probably seem like overkill for gaming PCs (which can easily get by with a full 16GB of RAM), they're ideal for workstation builds that are used in a more professional capacity, such as design. graphic and CGI rendering, where the 64GB or 128GB requirements come into play.
