minus-squareSGH@lemmy.mltoTechnology@lemmy.world•Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory priceslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoIt’s just the fact that, at some point, if you want a faster computer, you’re bound to have DDR5. AMD 5000 is fast, but how does it compare to last gen? Is there a 5000 CPU that can get the same score as a high end 9000 CPU? What if you have a homelab server to upgrade but find out you need more PCIe lanes? Other than that, yeah, you don’t need DDR5, but DDR4 is slowly going out of production and is also rising in price… so you’re screwed either way. linkfedilink
