DDR4 vs. DDR5 RAM compatibility Credit: Reviewed / Adrien Ramirez The Framework laptop mainboard has RAM slots so you can upgrade your memory later on, but DDR4 won't be compatible with DDR5 motherboards and vice versa. As DDR5 takes over as the new standard, expect DDR4 supp...

DDR5’s primary aim is simple, to improve memory bandwidth, increase storage capacity and reduce latency. Therefore, with a DDR5 module, you can expect a higher amount of memory to be fitted on a single DIMM slot, greater frequencies, and snappier response times. In essence, it improves on...
builders are rightly thinking more about performance than compatibility. Once again, we’ve gone above and beyond. For every Z790, H770, and B760 motherboard that supports DDR5, we’re introducing AEMP II profiles that offer up to 41.6% faster RAM speeds than...
DDR4 vs DDR5 RAM: Performance DDR4 vs DDR5 RAM: Compatibility DDR4 vs DDR5 RAM: Which one should you buy? The latest CPUs from both Intel and AMD support DDR5, and we've already started some solid DDR5 memory kits on the market. The arrival of these DDR5 memory kits, however, is...
Compatibility and Price DDR5 RAM should work with the most recent processors and motherboards, but it might not work with older computers. On the other hand, most modern systems can work with DDR4 RAM. But because DDR5 is a more recent technology, it will likely cost more than DDR4 RAM....
Getting ready to purchase parts for my build and I need to make a decision on DDR4 vs. DDR5. From what I've gathered online DDR5, while quicker, isn't so much faster that I'd see a meaningful or even noticeable difference in my system performance vs. DDR
+ Perfect for budget DDR5 builds + Wide compatibility Reasons to avoid - Modest clock speeds and timings Buy if... ✅ You want a reliable DDR5 kit that won't break the bank: At 5200 MT/s, it's not the fastest, but this kit is also a decent step up from the original 4800 MT/...
Starting off with the first of our synthetic tests, we’re looking into the memory subsystem of Alder Lake-S, as Intel has now included a great deal of changes to the microarchitecture, both on a chip-level, as well as on a platform-level due to the new DDR5 memory com...
As seen in our DDR4 vs DDR5 RAM comparison, there's no need to immediately upgrade to the new standard. But if you're on an older platform, you'll be limited to DDR4 anyway. Let's take a look at a few important things to consider before buying new DDR4 RAM: 16GB RAM is plenty...
