A new kind of memory that came out not so long ago and had to completely bypass its predecessor. This type of memory is especially different in that it has a starting frequency of 2133 MHz and ends at 4400 MHz, but overclocked ones end at 4800 MHz. There is also a difference in the voltage that these types of memory use, the DDR4 voltage used is 1.2 Volts and the DDR3 memory is 1.5 Volts. This is not a particularly noticeable difference for a home computer (Except that DDR4 is less heated), but a very strong difference for the server.
Just three years after the release of DDR4, a new type of DDR5 memory was released, which is now very expensive due to its novelty and characteristics.
DDR5
The newest type of memory that special lead will definitely capture the entire market in the future. Its performance is impressive compared to DDR4. For example, the voltage it uses is only 1.1 volts, and the frequency starts at 4800 and currently ends at 6000 MHz. Thus it becomes clear that this type of memory bypasses its predecessor with a vengeance.
Let's make a small comparison of all three types of RAM and compare them to understand what is better to choose and use, as well as in which cases it is worth using this or that memory.
However, there is a small catch that is connected specifically with DDR3 and DDR4, and this catch is as follows - if we take two data types of memory at the same frequency, for example, DDR3 2400 MHz and DDR4 2400 MHz, then the latter loses to the former. It's all about timing, namely that the design of DDR4 is arranged in such a way that its timing will be on a constant basis higher than that of DDR3.
