SK Hynix Announces 1Ynm 16Gb DDR5 DRAM
SK Hynix announced that it has developed 16 Gb DDR5 DRAM, the first DDR5 to meet the JEDEC standards. The same 1Ynm process technology used for the recently-developed 1Ynm 8Gb DDR4 DRAM was applied to the new DRAM.
SK Hynix successfully lowered the operating voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, achieving 30% lower power consumption compared to the previous generation, DDR4 DRAM. The new 16 Gb DDR5 DRAM supports a data transfer rate of 5200 Mbps, about 60% faster compared to 3200 Mbps of the previous generation, with which it can process 41.6 GB of data-11 full-HD video files (3.7 GB each)-per second.
The Company provided a major chipset maker with RDIMM and UDIMM for server and PC platforms, with more memory banks-doubled from 16 to 32 banks-in accordance with the JEDEC DDR5 standards.
"Based on technological advancements that allowed the industry's first DDR5 DRAM to meet the JEDEC standards, SK Hynix plans to begin mass producing the product from 2020, when the DDR5 market is expected to open, to actively respond to the demands of clients," said vice president Joohwan Cho, the Head of Volume Product Design Group.
According to IDC, a market research institute, demand for DDR5 is expected to rise from 2020, accounting for 25% of the total DRAM market in 2021 and 44% in 2022.

Ryzen works better with higher speeds and lower latencies, so I assume we are reaching that point
Have we fully reached the capabilities of DDR4 yet?

What's strange to me is that the standard for DDR was at first 266 then reached 400. For DDR2 it was obviously double, at first 667 then 800 stable and for DDR3 1333 moving to 1600, yet for DDR4 it's mainly 2133 and 2400, when the regular kits should be 3200, instead the 3200 kits are high-end ones. What does this mean for DDR5? What will be the starting frequency? Am I wrong in anything I said so far, can anyone please correct me, because I'm not great on RAM.

DDR5 is supposed to double the bandwidth and the density when compared to DDR4. So instead of 2133-3200 MT/s from DDR4, we're probably looking at 4266-6400 MT/s
First chips from Micron have been shown running at 4400 MT/s, projected to go all the way to 6400 MT/s for mainstream memory, plus OC memory on top of that probably.
So a 4400 "entry-level" comparable to 2133 is likely.
Of course DDR5 is still ~1.5 years away. Maybe first products end of 2019, but no mainstream before 2020.

Now its one more thing I'm holding out on for my upgrade. Shoot what's another two years on my build now as its crushing things still today.
Just wonder what else (hardware wise) will be available then when this is the new standard.
