Recently, Honan received a private message asking if DDR5 memory modules can be bought now? This friend is just an ordinary consumer, then Honan's suggestion is not recommended!
First of all, the conclusion: now for many people, the current DDR4 memory module is really enough!
So what are the advantages of the new generation of DDR5 memory modules? Summarized in two points.
1, DDR5 inherits the ECC error correction function, once the implementation of ECC function is to be implemented by the motherboard and CPU, so to use ECC memory to buy a dedicated motherboard. Error correction can now be done through the memory-integrated ECC chip, and there is no problem with various cool RGB motherboards.
You may have questions, ECC what does this mean? In short, ECC is one more memory chip, specifically put the original data of the data inside, if there is a data error, you can extract the original data to make up, you can ensure the stability of the computer data and the computer, so many servers or productivity computers will use ECC memory modules.
2, frequency upgrade, the frequency of the general DDR5 is above 4000Mhz, support overclocking, with higher bandwidth.
The above two advantages are mainly used for productivity tools such as animation rendering, as ordinary consumers, or gamers, basically can not use, why spend a high price to install a wave of DDR5? Thousands of yuan of memory, the cost performance is too low, it is not as good as spending 300-400 budget to support domestic memory DDR4, in fact, in the use of not feel too big gap.
Buy hardware or be careful, their own enough to use it, after all, we are not the national husband like not bad money, ordinary people pay attention to a practical and cost-effective, what do you think about it?
