"For bandwidth, other memory manufacturers have quoted that for the theoretical 38.4 GB/s that each module of DDR5-4800 can bring, they are already seeing effective numbers in the 32 GB/s range. This is above the effective 20-25 GB/s per channel that we are seeing on DDR4-3200 today."
That looks like a 20%+ improvement IF you are bottle-necking on DDR4.

- BeefySwain 6y agoMy understanding is that Dwarf Fortress is memory LATENCY limited, not bandwidth. Definitely could be wrong though.
- h-jones 6y agoHow does this play in with the fact that the DDR5 is clocked at 4800mHz and the DDR4 is at 3200? Would we not expect a 50% improvement with respect to transfer rates with a 50% increase in clock? I really don't know. There are even 4800mHz DDR4 DIMMs available now, even if they are niche. EDIT: DDR4 is 3200 not 3800.
