DDR4 and DDR5 at ANDER LAKE

DDR5 RAM memories are not mandatory to have the new ANDER LAKE processors from INTEL, why? Here I explain it to you.

Greetings to all lovers of the world of technology, because if it is not long before the launch of ANDER LAKE, which means that the DDR5 compatible boards will be selling like hot cakes, it turns out that no, the boards available with ANDER LAKE, will come for both DDR4 and DDR5, with backward compatibility, this is already guaranteed by one of the CEO of Intel, but perhaps we can use previous generation boards in these ANDER LAKE, because the socket of the 11 Aba generation will continue to be compatible with these processors, in addition to what will cause a higher sale for the company at the time of greenbacks.

At the moment it is unknown if it will worsen the performance of the computer, to use memories previous to this processor, but I have it a little clearer.

The processors do not have their own memory to store and sort the data that will come in and out of it, that takes care of the RAM memory, so the more RAM memory we have more information we can send to the processor to run, but do not be confused have nothing to do with the speed of execution, the storage of the RAM has to do with amount of data speed is measured in frequency, currently in DDR4 in the best we have frequencies of 3600 MH if over clock, if the frequency of memory is higher then we find a higher data transfer.

DDR5 RAM memories will not come with more capacity, in fact they will be basically the same capacities of DDR4 up to a maximum of 16 gb per memory, what will change is its frequency which will be 4500 Mh without overclocking.

This translates into memories capable of sending as much information as these ANDER LAKE processors will demand, so performance will of course be affected but only people who do tests that exhibit and demand the computer to the maximum will notice it.
