well thats welcome. i would like to see so-dimm and desktop ram sizes to be the same as to allow interchangeability.

This is great maybe we'll see some ddr5 in the mainstream market around 2020ish and I might be able to skip going to something with ddr4 entirely.

That will depend on what happens in the next 2 years with games, core count utilization and what you use your computer for. Many games are starting to struggle with only 4 cores and benefit from 6 or 8. That said, depends on what games you play and what devs will be doing in the next 4 years until DDR5 is available cheap. I'll probably get a new computer next year, depending on what I've said earlier.

Any chance this might remove any bottle neck while playing games (least memory bottleneck) due to the speed these DDR's are going to be going at, I'm assuming that they will go 6000-7000mhz+ in speed if they are comparable to GDDR5 speeds Just like GDDR4 looks like DDR4 didn't stick around for too long 😀 and here i am still stuck using DDR3 and this is announced D:

thatguy91 - crikey, you think things out. Hats off to you mate.
