Right, onto the gaming results. We're testing four different games today, using a range of frequency settings: from 3200MT/s to 4000MT/s CL19 on our DDR4 setup and 4800MT/s to 6600MT/s CL40 on our ...

It's all about timing when it comes to PC memory and we're not just talking about latency settings—when you pull the trigger on a new memory kit can make a big difference on the value proposition.

TL;DR: DDR4 memory prices are rising due to supply constraints as manufacturers shift focus to DDR5 and HBM for AI applications, causing DDR4 demand to outpace supply. This trend makes upgrading to ...

When ͏c͏hoosi͏ng a g͏aming laptop, o͏ne crit͏i͏cal conside͏ration is the t͏ype of m͏emory i͏t uses, be it DDR4 or͏ DDR5. As the ͏lat͏est iteration in memory tec͏hnology, the latter p͏rom͏ises faster ...

TrendForce notes a 12% increase in some 8GB DDR4 memory kits and an 8% rise in the cost of 16GB kits over the past week.

Memory trend charts from PCPartPicker show how much has changed in a relatively short time. For much of 2025, DDR4 pricing ...

The transition to DDR5 memory on a large scale is going to take some time—it will likely be years before DDR5 outpaces DDR4, even as more platforms arrive that support the newer memory standard. As ...

You may have just upgraded your computer to use DDR4 recently or you may still be using DDR3, but in either case, nothing stays new forever. JEDEC, the organization ...

Before we get into content creation, let's start with a synthetic benchmark that measures RAM speed specifically. This'll allow us to see the theoretical maximum performance boost we'd see in a task ...
