DDR5 vs. DDR4 Gaming Performance
It's time we take a fresh look at DDR4 vs DDR5 memory performance using the Core i9-14900K. We're benchmarking with fast DDR5-7200 and DDR4-4000 memory, noting that these days DDR5 is cheaper than DDR4.

One noob-friendly option to speed up your system is to upgrade your RAM. This tutorial explains all the essentials step by step. And the best part is, it's fairly easy to do for all.
We've got to admit that when we purchased these cheap 8GB DDR5-4800 memory sticks, we did so expecting them to be pretty bad and much slower than our DDR4-3200 memory in most instances. But, surprise...
A close look at memory scaling performance with Intel Core 12th-gen CPUs, to help you choose the best DDR4 and DDR5 memory kits for Alder Lake.
DDR5 memory supply is expected to improve, and so will pricing. So let's take a more in-depth look at what DDR5 has to offer gamers when using an Alder Lake CPU.
In this article we'll be searching for Zen 3's memory sweet spot and looking at DDR4 memory performance with the new Ryzen 5000 CPU series, and a brief explanation of why 4 RAM sticks are faster than 2.
Every single computer has RAM, whether it's embedded into a processor or sitting on a dedicated circuit board plugged into the system, computing devices simply can't work without it. RAM is an astonishing feat of precision engineering, and yet it is manufactured in epic quantities every year. Given how super important RAM is, a proper dissection is called for.
When we reviewed Ryzen's latest iteration we briefly checked out different DDR4 memory speeds but now that things have settled we were put on a mission to benchmark memory performance on 3rd-gen Ryzen to see if spending more makes sense or not.
What a difference a year makes. It was about this time last year that we discussed why building a gaming PC was a bad idea, but thankfully a lot has changed since. You may recall, DDR4 memory and graphics card prices were through the roof a year ago. GPU availability was quite poor and on top of all that, we were at the end of a few product cycles. Fast forward a year, what's changed?
