2021 can be regarded as the first year of DDR5. The 12th generation Core processor of Intel first launched DDR5 memory. At this time, the memory really opened the DDR5 era, but the price of the first DDR5 was one or two times higher than that of DDR4, and there is even a serious shortage of stocks, which has caused DDR5 to not be popular so far, and it is even said that almost no one cares about it.
May 2022 AMD announced the release of Ryzen 7000, and AMD announced that the 7000 series only supports DDR5.
is undoubtedly a bold attempt for AMD to support only DDR5, and its competitor Intel 12th generation also takes into account D5.
Of course, the memory controller of Intel12-generation processor is because it takes into account both D4 and D5, resulting in poor memory control and huge latency. Even DDR5 performs worse than DDR4.
AMD only supports DDR5, and it is undoubtedly more professional in the memory controller and can truly play the advantages of DDR5. However, assuming that the price of DDR5 is still so high, AMD is undoubtedly ignored, and Su Ma's doing this is undoubtedly a big bet.
Of course, the reason why Snail posted these is that everyone can see from the title that DDR5 has reduced its price, and the price reduction is very large
Currently, DDR5 4800 16G first-line brand Yingruida only needs 679. Everyone should know that DDR5 has double bandwidth D4. Strictly speaking, one DDR5 16G recognizes dual channels (of course, two D5s can form the so-called four channels).
We can buy a DDR5, and you can see from the price that DDR5 has fallen a lot now. Originally, it would take more than 1,500 to buy one.
In addition, according to AMD, in the past few months, AMD has communicated with suppliers and memory module manufacturers, confirmed their product specification routes, and confirmed the time schedule to prevent supply shortages. Each manufacturer is optimistic about the supply and support of DDR5.
means that DDR5 is sufficient in the future, which means that the price should still drop, which is better for us consumers.
From my personal point of view, it is highly likely that AMD will bet on DDR5 this time. With the price reduction of DDR5, AMD's advantages will become greater and greater. After all, everyone believes that the future will belong to DDR5.
Although every memory update is painful, Snail still believes that technology brings progress to people. You can also look forward to DDR5 after the price drop. I hope that the price of DDR5 will become lower and lower. I also hope that AMD will go through the memory controller this time.
