Its hard to get to excited about memory. This should be nice boost for AMD's Zen chips once they are using DDR5. Im assuming we are talking after Zen 2 before we see DDR5 in use for AMD chips.

Wow, this would be a huge jump if these are meant to start at 4.4ghz, remember when ddr4 first came out it only went to 2133mhz at first, so wasnt a huge increase over ddr3
Can already see G.skills and corsair trying to push these to 7000mhz XD

looks like this kit i got for my ryzen last year will be the only ddr4 kit I had to buy and with current prices I say bring on the new tech they cant charge much more of a premium than they already do

CPUs need to get faster and apps need to demand more bandwidth before DDR5 will matter much.
It would be cool to see DDR5 concentrate a little more on getting CAS down a few notches.
If I am not mistaken I saw a vid where DDR4 4000 @ CAS 12 was stable on specific motherboards. It would be cool if that became normal instead of an extraordinary exception.

Standard speeds should be.
DDR 1 : 400
DDR 2 : 800
DDR 3 : 1600
DDR 4 : 3200
DDR 5 : 6400

you cant teach an old dog new tricks, usless ddr memory again and again .. selling this old tech forever - again. what about the timings ? 30 ?40 ? even my old ddr1 had better latency then this junk. how about hbm for system ram ?

Wait a sec, they also working this out as the fastest available DDR 4 is 3200 which is bullsh!t. That is where they get an increase of 37.5%. But I can buy DDR 4 Gskill F4-4266, which will make DDR5 only 3% faster, I have seen reviews of DDR 4 4600 maybe even higher.
That is why I say DDR5 standard speed should be 6400.
I am guessing DDR5 will prob go all the way up to 9000 - 10000mhz

^ Exactly like how it took 4 years for DDR4 4266 kits to appear in 2016 as stated in the article.
