If you’re building a new machine then you’ll want to weigh up DDR4 vs DDR5 for gaming. In this feature, we deep dive into the specifics of the two memory formats. DDR5 arrived on the scene a few years ...

When ͏c͏hoosi͏ng a g͏aming laptop, o͏ne crit͏i͏cal conside͏ration is the t͏ype of m͏emory i͏t uses, be it DDR4 or͏ DDR5. As the ͏lat͏est iteration in memory tec͏hnology, the latter p͏rom͏ises faster ...

Right, onto the gaming results. We're testing four different games today, using a range of frequency settings: from 3200MT/s to 4000MT/s CL19 on our DDR4 setup and 4800MT/s to 6600MT/s CL40 on our ...

While not completely upgradeable like modular gaming desktop PCs, modern laptops still have certain components that users can upgrade, such as storage and memory. Both are required in modern games in ...

Since the introduction of DDR5 memory kits to the consumer market, there is one thing that everyone is talking about – which memory type between DDR4 and DDR5 is the best. While both RAM types have ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Choosing the best RAM kit for a gaming PC might seem easy, but it's actually a lot less straightforward than it used to be just a couple of ...

The battle between DDR4 and DDR5 is at its peak as the older memory standard sees its final days. AMD has completely nullified the support for the last-gen RAM sticks with its latest Ryzen 7000 series ...

After seven years on the market, all the best gaming RAM is unsurprisingly based on DDR4 until DDR5 memory arrives later this year alongside Intel's new Alder Lake CPUs. We could see the new standard ...

The new memory kits are offered in configurations of 32 GB (2x 16 GB) with speeds ranging from 5600 MHz to 6400 MHz for DDR5, and 16 GB (2x 8 GB) to 32 GB (2x 16 GB) with speeds ranging from 3200 MHz ...

In the hardware world, we've gone through generations of GPUs and processors, but we're still rocking the same DDR4 RAM that's been in the best gaming PCs for almost seven years. Fortunately, DDR5 ...

Before we get into content creation, let's start with a synthetic benchmark that measures RAM speed specifically. This'll allow us to see the theoretical maximum performance boost we'd see in a task ...

DDR4 memory, even though a generation old at this point, is still very capable and can deliver performance levels only slightly behind the newer DDR5. While DDR5 memory continues to make inroads with ...
