DDR5

Major changes to the PC’s RAM subsystem typically occur once in blue moon, but mere years after DDR4’s delayed rollout, that time is upon us yet again.

With the fresh release of DDR5 support in Intel’s stunning new 12th-gen “Alder Lake” CPUs like the Core i5-12600K and Core i9-12900K, and potentially AMD’s Zen 4 chips next year, we’re now entering a junction where you’ll need to decide what memory is right for you—DDR4 or DDR5.
