DDR5 raises the total possible capacity and top speed of your memory, adds in some new functionality for overclockers, and reduces its overall power usage.

DDR4 and DDR5 are not compatible with each other, despite how similar they look.

DDR5 supports speeds all the way up to teetering on 8,000 MHz.

Each stick of DDR5 memory has its own power management chip now too, rather than the motherboard handling power distribution.

You also get increased bandwidth thanks to a big change to the basic architecture of a memory DIMM .

In the early days of the launch, you might’ve paid almost twice as much for DDR5 over DDR4.
