DDR5 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!
Evan Hill
Owen Thomas
Still slower than GDDR5, why bother?
Noah Sanchez
Let the price gouging continue
Luke Lopez
LPDDR5 != DDR5.
Connor Kelly
LPDDR5=DDR5=GDDR5
Ian Collins
lol no
Christopher Miller
lol yes
Noah Garcia
lol maybe.

Because it serves as vram and system ram. gddr5 is dogshit for system ram. Snapdragon 835 has quad-channel 16 bit 1866mhz support (ie 30GB/s). Newer lpddr5 could allow for faster clocks (maybe 35GB/s) due to power efficiency. That's fucking insane when you consider this all has to fit inside a 5 watt max tdp package.
Jackson Sanders
Graphics memories are way different from regular memories.
Ayden Wilson
It's telling that Samsung is going strait for LPDDR5 with zero care about higher voltage DDR5 for desktop computers.. I'm guessing we wouldn't even have DDR5 already if it weren't for the mobile space pushing.
I'm glad there's a lot of competition in that space. Laptop/Desktop innovation is dead.
Hudson Scott
The goal is convergence. Both CPU and GPU sharing very fast, low latency memory.
Carson Garcia
Why don't we just use LPDDR5 for desktop?
Cameron Sanchez
Doesn't DDR always get lower voltages with each generation and smaller processes?
Josiah Sullivan
Latency.
Caleb Reed
Connor Peterson
Then why GDDR3 is faster than DDR4.
Joshua Taylor
The last time DRAM manufacturers jumped into a generation without guaranteed support Intel dragged their feet and we had bottom of the barrel prices on RAM. There's a reason why Samsung, who controls their mobile supply chain, is going for LPDDR5 which is likely to go straight into phones exclusively for years.
On an unrelated note, I doubt DRAM prices will ever go so low again. They will probably level off somewhere in between
Zachary Kelly
There is a big chance of them going low again if China completes their plan of Producing their own DRAM.
Jeremiah Smith
this, chinese nand production has already crashed ssd prices this year, rams are coming next
Kevin Sanders
So what is their current situation, how many fabs are out the low yield rate hell?
Owen Ortiz
Will they ever improve latency to ram?
David White
Gddr5 is based on ddr3, retard.
It's not? It's simply has wider bus due to controller architecture. Epycs with 3600 ram, if you'll manage to make it work, should have similar bandwidth to the low-end gddr5 gpus.
Leo Cook
Does it mean I'll finally be able to buy RAM without selling a kidney?
Joshua Collins
So will this mean DDR4 will be depreciated soon?
Jose Rogers
The absolute state...
Joseph Parker
and it's bootyfull
