Patriot Announces Signature DDR5 Memory Series
The Signature DDR5 memory is approximately 75% faster performance over similar high-end and overclocked DDR4 memory right out of the gate.
PATRIOT today is proud to announce their first DDR5 high-performance memory will be available in the market in November 2021. The memory kit provides high-speed frequencies up to 4800MHz, with future versions ranging up to 8400MHz. The single modules are available in various capacities, from 8GB to 64GB, and the perfect choice for system integrators and those looking to expand their DDR5 system memory.
"We've been working jointly with motherboard makers to ensure our DDR5 memory product line has excellent stability and compatibility with INTEL's latest ALDER LAKE desktop processor and Z690 platforms," said Roger Shinmoto, the VP of PATRIOT Memory.
PATRIOT Signature DDR5 memory is designed to deliver a significant performance improvement. Only requiring 1.1V of power, Signature DDR5 offers lower power consumption and produces less heat despite the higher frequency of 4800Mhz. Further power improvements include an onboard Power Management IC (PMIC), which provides better control of local voltage regulation while offering increased threshold protection, simultaneous monitoring, INTELligent voltage, and power management supporting increased voltage tweaking and more comprehensive adjustment ranges.
Each Signature DDR5 module has onboard thermal sensors to monitor and protect against thermal issues and better overall reporting.
Build quality and stability are critical features to successful DRAM memory; An 8-layer black PCB is used on the PATRIOT Signature DDR5 memory for substantial signal integrity. In addition, the latest on-die ECC (Error-Correcting Code) further enhances the accuracy of the data processing and overall system stability. As a result, the PATRIOT Signature DDR5 memory promises to be a wise choice for system integrators and anyone looking to expand their DDR5 system memory, offering a wide range of capacities and configurations, allowing users to get the most from the new ALDER LAKE and Z690 platforms.
The PATRIOT Signature DDR5 memory is backed by a PATRIOT's limited lifetime warranty and will be available in major retailers worldwide in November 2021.

75% performance you say? Bullshit.
You double the frequency and double the latency and you achieve nothing. Ddr5 with high frequency and high latency is marketing bullshit.
you get more memory bandwidth, if your workload is memory bound it does increase your performance linearly.
latency hasn't really improved since the ddr2 days, you could buy ddr2 800 cl3 kits which offer comparable latency to the lowest latency kits today. similar to a 3600 cl14 or 4000 cl15 kit

If this were still DDR4 then you'd be right. But DDR5 works a bit differently in the way the CPU accesses it, where to my recollection, the CPU is getting more data per clock cycle.
In either case, I'd still like to see latencies that are less than doubled.

I was referring to games but we can test your theory that bandwidth matters more then bandwidth over latency ratio. Just run a benchmark for your app then go into bios and up the 4 primary ram timings as far as they can go and run the benchmark again. It's the ratio between latency and bandwidth that really matters.

Here are the Jedec standards for DDR 5. Please note that there are three levels of cas for each speed. They are Fast Standard: Common Standard: Loose Standard: . You will notice that the bandwidth starts to expand as the speeds go up, but the latency stays almost constant no matter what speed you choose. So in the end it is faster even at higher cl numbers.
